Hi I have a very simple question but I haven't been able to find a set answer. How would I draw a bunch of polygons on one graph. The following does not work:

Graphics[{Polygon[{{989, 1080}, {568, 1080}, {834, 711}}], 
  Polygon[{{1184, 1080}, {989, 1080}, {834, 711}, {958, 541}}], 
  Polygon[{{1379, 1080}, {1184, 1080}, {958, 541}, {1082, 370}}], 
  Polygon[{{1470, 1080}, {1379, 1080}, {1082, 370}, {1140, 291}}], 
  Polygon[{{1665, 1080}, {1470, 1080}, {1140, 291}, {1263, 120}}], 
  Polygon[{{1756, 1080}, {1665, 1080}, {1263, 120}, {1321, 41}}], 
  Polygon[{{1394, 0}, {1920, 0}, {1920, 1080}, {1846, 1080}}], 
  Polygon[{{1352, 0}, {1394, 0}, {1846, 1080}, {1756, 1080}, {1321, 
     41}}], Polygon[{{931, 0}, {1352, 0}, {1084, 367}}], 
  Polygon[{{736, 0}, {931, 0}, {1084, 367}, {961, 537}}], 
  Polygon[{{540, 0}, {736, 0}, {961, 537}, {836, 708}}], 
  Polygon[{{450, 0}, {540, 0}, {836, 708}, {779, 788}}], 
  Polygon[{{255, 0}, {450, 0}, {779, 788}, {654, 958}}], 
  Polygon[{{164, 0}, {255, 0}, {654, 958}, {597, 1038}}], 
  Polygon[{{73, 0}, {164, 0}, {597, 1038}, {568, 1080}, {524, 1080}}],
   Polygon[{{0, 0}, {73, 0}, {524, 1080}, {0, 1080}}]}]

I apologize for how basic this question is. If anyone could steer me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

The default fill for Polygon is Black so you end up with an almost completely black field. The edges are very faint.

Graphics[polys]

You can use EdgeForm to clearly see the edges of the polygons.

Graphics[{EdgeForm[Red], polys}]

enter image description here

Or you can color the polygons

Graphics[
 Thread[{
   Table[
    ColorData[RandomInteger[{1, 113}]][n],
    {n, Length[polys]}],
   polys}]]

your plot is ok. actually all polygons are plotted but because the EdgeForm & FaceForm, the plot is not clear. check this:

poly = {Polygon[{{989, 1080}, {568, 1080}, {834, 711}}], 
   Polygon[{{1184, 1080}, {989, 1080}, {834, 711}, {958, 541}}], 
   Polygon[{{1379, 1080}, {1184, 1080}, {958, 541}, {1082, 370}}], 
   Polygon[{{1470, 1080}, {1379, 1080}, {1082, 370}, {1140, 291}}], 
   Polygon[{{1665, 1080}, {1470, 1080}, {1140, 291}, {1263, 120}}], 
   Polygon[{{1756, 1080}, {1665, 1080}, {1263, 120}, {1321, 41}}], 
   Polygon[{{1394, 0}, {1920, 0}, {1920, 1080}, {1846, 1080}}], 
   Polygon[{{1352, 0}, {1394, 0}, {1846, 1080}, {1756, 1080}, {1321, 
      41}}], Polygon[{{931, 0}, {1352, 0}, {1084, 367}}], 
   Polygon[{{736, 0}, {931, 0}, {1084, 367}, {961, 537}}], 
   Polygon[{{540, 0}, {736, 0}, {961, 537}, {836, 708}}], 
   Polygon[{{450, 0}, {540, 0}, {836, 708}, {779, 788}}], 
   Polygon[{{255, 0}, {450, 0}, {779, 788}, {654, 958}}], 
   Polygon[{{164, 0}, {255, 0}, {654, 958}, {597, 1038}}], 
   Polygon[{{73, 0}, {164, 0}, {597, 1038}, {568, 1080}, {524, 
      1080}}], Polygon[{{0, 0}, {73, 0}, {524, 1080}, {0, 1080}}]};
