What is the largest possible number of parallel sides in a hexagon?

Providing that it is a regular 6 sided hexagon then it will have 3 pairs of opposite parallel sides.
Though an irregular hexagon (shaped as the outline of an L) can have 2 sets of three parallel sides.

What is the largest possible number of parallel sides in a polygon?
The polygon may have 2n sides, where n is any whole number greater than 1
How many parallelograms can you cut from a hexagon?
An infinite number. Any parallelogram can be cut in half by a line parallel to one of its sides to increase the number by one. And there is no end to that process.
What is the largest possible number of perpendicular sides in a polygon?
infinite
Number of degrees in an angle of a regular hexagon?
120 degreesa hexagon is a 36 degree shape
What is largest possible number using digit 0-9 without repetition?
9
What is the largest possible number of parallel lines on a hexagon?
6
What is the largest possible number of parallel side in a pentagon?
Four: two pairs.
Are any angles of the diagonals of a hexagon parallel?
Of a regular hexagon, yes, since it has an even number of sides.
What is the largest possible number of perpendicular sides in a hexagon?
A concave hexagon can have 6 perpendicular sides if you count the external angle of one. The angles would be 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 270
What is the largest possible number of parallel sides in a polygon?
The polygon may have 2n sides, where n is any whole number greater than 1
How many pairs of parallel sides do a pentagon and a hexagon have?
a pentagon has 5 sides total, and no parallel sides. A hexagon has 6 sides, so it has 3 parallel sides. any shape with an odd number of equal sides has 0 parallel sides, no matter how many sides it has. every shape with an even number of equal sides will have the # of sides divided by 2 (#/2) of parallel sides.
Can somebody Write a formula for the largest number of parallel lines (p) possible in a regular shape with sides of a is even?
p = a. In a regular polygon with an even number of sides, every side is parallel to the one opposite it. So all a sides are parallel.
What is the largest number of parallel sides a pentagon can have?
2 is the answer
What shapes have parallel sides?
Parallelogram Rhombus Hexagon Octagon Pentagon Any shape that has even number of sides.
Can you determine the largest number?
The largest number possible is infinity
What are non- parallel sides called?
There is no specific name. For example, if you number the sides of a regular hexagon sequentially from 1 to 6, then sides 1 and 3 are not parallel but there is no specific name for that pair. In the context of the hexagon they do not meet - even if they do so way outside the hexagon. If they do meet up in the context of the shape, then they will be adjacent or intersecting sides.
What shape has 3 pairs of parallel sides?
A regular hexagon (if you can use non-regular shapes then there's an infinite number)
