Best Answer

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.

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 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.


Can you determine the largest number?

The largest number possible is infinity
