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.
Does a triangle have a set of parallel lines?
No. it is the only polygon that can not have parallel lines all though any regular polygon with an odd number of lines will have no parallel lines If three points were in a straight line it could be argued that these formed a triangle with parallel sides, though really it would be just a line; or if we had a triangle with infinite height the sides would be parallel. In any other case, no.
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.
Why is a circle a polygon?
It takes an infinite number of sides to make a polygon into a circle, but you could still consider a circle to be a limiting state of the polygon, which all polygons approach as the number of sides increase.
What could be used as a rule to determine how many segments the Cantor Dust fractal has after the fourth iteration?
Multiply the previous number of segments by 2.

What is the name of a polygon which could not have parallel sides?
Rhombus
Which geometric shape could not be drawn using both perpendicular line segments and parallel line segments?
A circle.
What has 2 parallel bases that are not polygon?
It could be a cylinder or a cuboid
What is a simple closed figure made up of line segments called?
a polygon
What shape has 4 equal sides and 2 parallel sides?
A trapezium could do that. Moreover, I think any polygon with an even number of sides also could.
Which shape could never have parallel lines?
A irregular polygon will not have any parallel lines. :)* * * * *Not true. A rhombus is an irregular polygon and it has two pairs of parallel line!An irregular pentagon can have parallel lines.However, a triangle or a conic section cannot.

Any polygon with two pairs of parallel opposite sides is a parallelogram?
could be a rhombus and a square and a rectangle.
What is a flat closed surface that has congruent and parallel opposite sides?
That could be numerous polygons: a square, a regular hexagon, a regular octagon, a regular dodecagon ... Any regular polygon with an even number of sides could be your answer.
What shape has sides and 2 pairs parallel sides?
It could be an irregular polygon with 6 or more sides or, if a quadrilateral, it could be a parallelogram.
