Description
- **Package Name**: `azure.ai.formrecognizer`
- **Package Version**: 3.3.3
- **Operating System**: MacOS
- **Python Version**: 3.12
**Describe the bug**
The words in a `DocumentLine` seem to store their polygons as a list of floats rather than as a list of `Point` objects.
```python
from typing import reveal_type
line: DocumentLine
for w in line.get_words():
for p in w.polygon:
reveal_type(p) # this reveals as `Point` but it turns out to be a `float` at runtime
```
This is in contrast to iterating over words from the `words` field in a `DocumentPage`, where the polygons are indeed sequences of `Point` objects.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Use a `prebuilt-read` model on pdf bytes to run OCR
2. Examine the words in a document line in the result
