Yes, a square has two sets of parallel sides. Each pair of opposite sides is equal in length and runs parallel to each other. This property is what categorizes squares as a type of rectangle and a type of parallelogram. All angles in a square are right angles, further confirming its symmetrical properties.

Squares, rectangles, parallelograms and rhombuses have two parallel sides. The other two are also parallel. A trapezium has only two parallel sides.
Trapezoid
All squares have TWO SETS of opposite, parallel sides. A square is a parallelogram with 4 equal sides and 4 equal angles (right angles) of which adjacent sides are perpendicular. The related parallelogram, the rhombus, or "diamond" shape, also has 4 equal sides, but no right angles, where opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees).
There are an infinite number of shapes that have two or more parallel opposite sides - any even-numbered polygon (hexagons, octagons, decagons, and so on).A quadrilateral with only 1 set of parallel sides is a trapezoid (UK trapezium).A parallelogram has two sets of parallel opposite sides. These would include rhombi and rectangles (and the special case of rectangles which are squares).
In math, are squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. Also rectangle have two sets of even sides and two sets of un-even sides. But all square sides are equal.
