Where are the parallel sides of a polygon?
The parallel sides of a polygon are sides that are segments of parallel lines. A polygon need not have any parallel lines. A triangle, for example, is a polygon that cannot have parallel lines.
What is a polygon with 3 parallel lines?
There can be no convex polygon with three parallel sides. There are concave polygons with 6 or more sides that have three parallel lines.
How many parallel lines does a decagon have?
A decagon has 10 sides. Any regular polygon with four or more sides will have pairs of sides that are parallel. A decagon will have 5 pairs of parallel sides.
What is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides parallel?
A four-sided polygon with opposite sides parallel could be a square, a rectangle, or a rhombus.If it has one pair of opposite, parallel sides, then it is a trapezoid. If it has two pairs of opposite, parallel sides, then it is a parallelogram.
What is a polygon has 4 sides and has only 1 pair of parallel sides?
rhombus
Where are the parallel sides of a polygon?
The parallel sides of a polygon are sides that are segments of parallel lines. A polygon need not have any parallel lines. A triangle, for example, is a polygon that cannot have parallel lines.
How many parallel sides does a 10 sided regular polygon have?
5 pairs of parallel sides.
How many parallel sides in a 25 sided polygon?
None. Since the number of sides is odd, there can be no parallel sides.
How many parallel sides are there in a regular polygon with eleven sides?
None.
How many parallel sides does have a regular polygon of 100 sides?
How many shapes have parallel lines?
Infinitely many. Every regular polygon with 2n sides has n pairs of parallel sides. Then there are irregular polygons which can have parallel sides. And there are also irregular shapes which have parallel sides.
What shape has parallel sides?
Any polygon with four or more sides can have parallel sides.
What has some parallel sides?
A polygon with 4 or more sides can have a pair of parallel sides.
Is a polygon that has opposite sides that are parallel always a regular polygon?
No. A parallelogram, for example, is not a regular polygon. Even a rhombus, with parallel sides of equal lengths is not.
How many parallel lines a decagone have?
A decagon has 10 sides. Any regular polygon with four or more sides will have pairs of sides that are parallel. A decagon will have 5 pairs of parallel sides.
How many parallel sides does polygon have?
A 3-sided polygon has 0 parallel sides. A 4-sided polygon can have 0, 2 or 4 parallel sides. A 5-sided polygon can have 0, 2, 3 or 4 parallel sides. In general, an n-sided polygon can have 0, 2, 3, ..., n-1, or n parallel sides where n>5. A polygon with n sides can have n pairs of parallel sides (if n is even) or (n-1)/2 pairs if n is odd AND greater than 3. But it need not have any.
Does a polygon have two pairs of parallel sides?
Not all polygon have two pairs of parallel sides. For example, a square will, but not a triangle.
