From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

    In geometry, a polygon is a plane figure that is described by a finite number of straight line segments 
    connected to form a closed polygonal chain or polygonal circuit. The solid plane region, the bounding circuit, 
    or the two together, may be called a polygon.

None of them....

Solids (the ones in your list and any others) are 3-dimensional.

Polygons are 2-dimensional.

Therefore, no solid is a polygon.
