One parallel side is like one scissor, one tweezer, one plier, one pant, and one hand
clapping. Without another one, there's no such thing. A line can't be parallel if it
doesn't have another line to be parallel to, and if it has, then the other line is also
parallel to the first one. Parallel things always come in groups of at least two. So
there's no shape that satisfies the description in the question.

Quadrilaterals that have just one set of parallel sides?
Quadrilaterals are two-dimensional shapes that have four sides. Quadrilaterals that have only one set of parallel sides are called trapezoids.
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.
Are all sided shapes parallelograms?
No. Parallelograms have only 4 sides with 2 sets of parallel sides: they include squares, rectangles, and rhombuses (rhombi, diamond shapes). Because opposite angles are equal, each pair of parallel sides is equal in length. (For squares and "equilateral rhombi" all four sides are equal in length.)
Why is a trapezoid a parallelogram?
A trapezoid is not a parallelogram. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides, while a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. These two shapes have different properties and cannot be considered the same.
How is a trapezoid different from other shapes?
A trapezoid is a 4 sided quadrilateral that has only one pair of opposite parallel sides of different lengths.
Quadrilaterals that have just one set of parallel sides?
Quadrilaterals are two-dimensional shapes that have four sides. Quadrilaterals that have only one set of parallel sides are called trapezoids.
What shapes has only one pair of parallel sides?
trapezoidTrapezoid.
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.)
Which shapes have no parallel sides?
The only polygon that absolutely positively never has any parallel sides is a triangle. Any other shape comprised of four or more straight line segments could have one or more pairs that are parallel.
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.
Are all sided shapes parallelograms?
No. Parallelograms have only 4 sides with 2 sets of parallel sides: they include squares, rectangles, and rhombuses (rhombi, diamond shapes). Because opposite angles are equal, each pair of parallel sides is equal in length. (For squares and "equilateral rhombi" all four sides are equal in length.)
Does a trapezium have paralle sides?
Actually the trapezium is a shape. Trapezoid is the general group term for shapes of it's general shape. It has only two parallel sides.
What is a 4 sided shape has 2 parallel sides?
A four-sided shape in which only two sides are parallel is called a trapezoid. All two-dimensional, four-sided shapes are known as quadrilaterals.
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.
Why is a trapezoid a parallelogram?
A trapezoid is not a parallelogram. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides, while a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. These two shapes have different properties and cannot be considered the same.
What figure has only 2 sides that are parallel?
A trapezoid only has only two parallel sides.
How is a trapezoid different from other shapes?
A trapezoid is a 4 sided quadrilateral that has only one pair of opposite parallel sides of different lengths.
