Ah, sounds like you've got yourself a trapezoid there, honey. With two parallel sides of different lengths, you can bet your bottom dollar it's not your run-of-the-mill square or rectangle. So, go ahead and strut your stuff knowing you've identified that sassy four-sided shape!

Oh, what a lovely shape you're describing! That would be a trapezoid, with two sides that are longer than the other four. Just imagine the beautiful landscapes we could create with shapes like these in our paintings. Keep exploring and noticing the beauty in the world around you!
You just described a run-of-the-mill rectangle. A special case of the rectangle, where all sides are equal, is the square. But if you have a quadrilateral with four right angles and one pair of opposite sides is longer than the other pair of opposite sides, you have a rectangle. Period.
A trapezoid other than an isosceles trapezoid
OK, SO a shape with fewer than four straight sides is a triangle, which has three (3) straight sides. Hope this helps! LOOPDOP says: A circle is a shape. And it has no straight sides..... isn't that "fewer"?
A triangle has three sides, so a hexagon (a shape with six sides) would have three more sides than a triangle.
