In a polyhedron - a 3-dimensional object - a pair of parallel faces are two faces which lie in planes that are parallel to each other.
Parallel faces need not be congruent. For example, consider a pyramid whose top is sliced off by a plane parallel to it base. The flat top and the base will be parallel faces but will not be congruent.
A cube has three pairs of parallel faces and all faces are congruent.
A rectangular prism has six faces, and each pair of opposite faces is parallel to each other. Therefore, a rectangular prism has three pairs of parallel faces.
An octagonal prism has a total of 5 pairs of parallel faces. It has two parallel octagonal bases and eight rectangular lateral faces, with each rectangle having a parallel counterpart on the opposite side of the prism. Thus, the pairs of parallel faces consist of 1 pair for the octagonal bases and 4 pairs for the rectangular faces.
A cuboid has 3 pairs of parallel faces.
A triangular based pyramid has zero pairs of parallel faces. In a triangular based pyramid, all three faces of the base are not parallel to the apex, which means there are no pairs of parallel faces in this type of shape.
Usually, a pair of parallel bases and four pairs of parallel lateral faces.
There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. Many of these will have no parallel faces. It can have four pairs of parallel faces.
A standard tissue box typically has three pairs of parallel faces. The top and bottom faces are parallel to each other, while the four side faces also form two pairs of parallel faces. Thus, in total, there are six parallel faces on a standard tissue box.
A cuboid has 6 faces, and each face has a pair of parallel faces. So, a cuboid has 3 pairs of parallel faces. Mathematically speaking, that's the tea, honey.
A cube.
A rhombus is 2-dimensional and does not have faces. It does have two pairs of parallel sides however.
It can have one, two or three pairs of parallel faces.
