There are many shapes with parallel sides: e.g. most regular quadrilaterals like Squares, Rectangles and Parallelograms have parallel sides, and so do quite a few regular polygon.
But what is a parallel side (or line)? These are two line which are exactly the same length apart and must always be straight and consequently will never meet, no matter how far they extend. For example, train tracks are often parallel (until they bend for the train to turn left or right). They would have to be parallel, because the distance between the train's wheels is always going to be the same.
Many shapes have "sets" of parallel sides, like a rectangle has two sets and a hexagon has six.
Sets of Parallel lines (or sides) are distinguished by an arrow pointing in one direction of both lines.
Note: Irregular polygons with 5 or more sides are also candidates.

What shape has two sides that have parallel sides?
A parallelogram is an quadrilateral (a figure with four edges and four vertices) with two sets of parallel sides. A trapezoid, also known as a trapezium, is a shape with four sides with a pair of parallel sides.
What shape has four sides and exactly two sides are parallel?
A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides
What shape has 4 sides and 2 parallel?
The four sided shape that has two parallel lines is called a trapezoid. A parallelogram is a four sided shape that has two pairs of parallel lines.
What is a shape called with 4 equal sides and 2 parallel sides?
If it has four equal sides, then two parallel sides implies two PAIRS of parallel sides. The shape is a rhombus.

It is a shape which has two pairs of PARALLEL sides. Parallel sides - parallelogram. Get it?
What shape has two sides that have parallel sides?
A parallelogram is an quadrilateral (a figure with four edges and four vertices) with two sets of parallel sides. A trapezoid, also known as a trapezium, is a shape with four sides with a pair of parallel sides.
What is a shape with 4 sides and 2 parallel sides?
If the shape (a quadrilateral) has only 2 parallel sides, it is a trapezoid (UK trapezium).A shape with four sides and two sets of parallel sides is a parallelogram (rectangle, square, rhomboid, rhombus) because these figures have four sides and two sets of parallel sides.
What shape has 4 sides and two parallel sides?

A trapezium or parallelogram. A pentagon can have a pair of parallel sides. Polygons with 6 or more sides can have two (or more) pairs of parallel sides.
