In general, you cannot tell. For example, try it with a near-regular hexagon.

Without measuring how can you determine whether two sides of a polygon are congruent?
cut out the polygon and fold the two sides onto each other.if the sides match up, you can assume its congruent
Has 4 congruent sides and 2 pairs of congruent sides?
This shape would be a square.
Is a trapezoid with all sides congruent?
A trapezium with all its sides congruent is an impossible shape.
What shape has 2 pairs of congruent sides with those sides being non-adjacent and the angles are not all congruent?
This is a parallelogram. The first requirement is 2 pairs of congruent sides where the congruent sides are not adjacent. This is like a rectangle (excluding a square) that has two pairs of congruent sides where the congruent sides are not adjacent. But the angles are not all congruent (as set in the question) which pushes the shape into the "next less regular" shape, the parallelogram. The angles will not all be congruent, but it will have 2 pairs of congruent angles. There is no way to avoid the 2 pairs of congruent angles because of the requirement that the shape must have 2 pairs of congruent sides (the first requirement).
What shape has no congruent sides?
If a triangle does not have the same length side as another triangle the sides are not congruent.

What shape has 4 congruent sides with no congruent angels?
That is a mathematical impossibility. At least 2 angles have to be congruent in order for the shape to have 4 sides.
What shape has 4 congruent sides and 2 pairs of congruent angles?
Angles and sides are congruent when they are identical. A shape with four identical sides and angles is a square.
What is the definition for congruent sides?
Congruent sides are two (or more) sides of a shape that have the same measure.
Has 4 congruent sides and 2 pairs of congruent sides?
This shape would be a square.

What shape has no congruent sides?
If a triangle does not have the same length side as another triangle the sides are not congruent.
What shape has 4 sides Opposite sides are congruent Opposite sides are parallel Opposite angles are congruent?
rectangle
A garden has 2 pairs of congruent sides the congruent sides are not adjacent and the angles are not all congruent what is the shape of the garden?
obtuse
What are congruent shapes?
In geometry, it refers to two shapes that are identical in shape and size. If one shape can be moved - without stretching or cutting - so that it exactly covers another, then the two shapes are said to be congruent.
What shape has four congruent sides and and congruent angles?
a regular polygon
