∙ 11y agoVarious irregular polygons have only one pair of parallel sides. Quadrilateral shapes specifically that meet this criterion are called trapezia (sing. trapezium, US spelling trapezoids/trapezoid). I do not know of any term for multilateral figures with exactly one pair of parallel sides.

In which quadrilateral is only one pair of opposite sides parallel?
The US term for the shape is trapezoid, and has only one pair of parallel sides.(The term trapezium is used for these shapes in the UK and many other countries.)
What shapes have exactly two pair of parallel sides?
rectangular
What geometric shapes have one pair of parallel sides?
trapezoids
What names of shapes with one pair of parallel sides?
rhombus
What shapes have more that one pair of parallel sides?
A square
What 2D shape has a pair of parallel sides?
Any polygon with four or more sides can have a pair of parallel sides. It is also possible to to have non-polygonal shapes - eg a cigar-shape - that has parallel sides.
What quadrilateral has a pair of parallel sides?
A quadrilateral that has only one pair of parallel sides (the other pair not parallel) is a trapezium.
What shapes have one pair of paralle sides?
Any polygon, other than a triangle, can have one pair of parallel sides.
Do trapezoids have 2 pair of parallel sides?
No. A trapezoid only has one pair of parallel sides.
What shape have one pair of parallel sides?
The name of the four-sided shape that has only one pair of parallel sides is known as a trapezoid. The other two sides are not parallel to each other. There are many other shapes with more than four sides that have one pair of parallel sides but these typically don't have special names. So assuming the question is only referring to four-sided figures, the answer is a trapezoid.
Does a kite have only one pair of parallel sides?
It has no parallel sides
Are trapezoids retangles?
No, trapezoids are not rectangles. While both shapes have four sides, rectangles have opposite sides that are equal in length and all interior angles are right angles, whereas trapezoids have only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.
