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).

Do all squares have two pairs of parallel sides?
Yes the sides are all the same as well too.
What quadrilaterals have two parallel sides'?
Squares, rectangles, parallelograms and rhombuses have two parallel sides. The other two are also parallel. A trapezium has only two parallel sides.
Why can all squares be classified as parallelograms but not all parallelograms can be classified as squares?
A parallelogram is a four-sided figure with opposite sides parallel. Squares and rectangles are two examples of parallelograms. A square is a four-sided figure that has four equal sides, and opposite sides are parallel.
Do a squares have two sets of parallel sides?
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.
What is the main difference between squares and trapezoids?
The main difference between squares and trapezoids is that, while the length all four sides of a square are equal, trapezoids have two sides with equal length and two sides of different length. Also, the opposite pairs of sides in a square are parallel, while only one pair of sides in a trapezoid is parallel.
