Do parallelograms have parallel sides?
Yes. A Parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides which are opposite each other and of equal length, though the pairs may be of different length to each other. If the angles are all 90° then the parallelogram is also a rectangle. If the angles are all 90° AND all sides are equal then the parallelogram is also a square. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares; Similarly all squares are rhombuses but not all rhombuses are squares And all rhombuses, and thus squares, are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses (nor squares).
What has two pairs of parallel sides and all sides are equivalent?
A square or a rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides and all sides are equivalent.
How many pairs of parallel sides are in a prarallelogram?
All parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides.
Are all rhombuses polygons?
yes because they have 2 sets of parallel sides
What shape has two pairs of parallel sides?
Any polygon with any even number of sides CAN have 2 pairs of parallel lines. Parallelograms, rhombuses, rectangles, and squares always do.The shape that has two pairs of parallel sides is a parallelogram. It is either a rectangle, rhomboid, square, or rhombus (all special cases of the parallelogram)The set of parallelograms is is often confused with the set of trapezoids. Trapezoids are a little confusing in themselves because, although mathematicians world-wide define them as quads with two (and only two) parallel sides, in Britain trapezoid is sometimes used to refer to a quad with no parallel sides. ref. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.
Are there any trapezoids that are also rhombuses?
yes - all the rhombuses. By definition a trapezoid has two parallel sides, a rhombus also has two parallel sides - because both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. So all rhombuses are trapezoids (but not all trapezoids are rhombuses)
Do all rhomuses have 2 parralel sides?
Yes all rhombuses have 2 equal pairs of parallel sides.
Do parallelograms have parallel sides?
Yes. A Parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides which are opposite each other and of equal length, though the pairs may be of different length to each other. If the angles are all 90° then the parallelogram is also a rectangle. If the angles are all 90° AND all sides are equal then the parallelogram is also a square. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares; Similarly all squares are rhombuses but not all rhombuses are squares And all rhombuses, and thus squares, are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses (nor squares).
Why can a parallelogram not be described as a rhombus?
Although a rhombus is a parallelogram. not all parallelograms are rhombuses. A parallelogram is any shape with two or more pairs of parallel sides.
A quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides?
A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides is a parallelogram.
What has two pairs of parallel sides and all sides are equivalent?
A square or a rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides and all sides are equivalent.
How many pairs of parallel sides are in a prarallelogram?
All parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides.
What type of quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel sides?
It would have to be a rhombus. A trapezoid ONLY has one pair of of parallel sides.Rectangles, squares and rhombuses are special cases of parallelograms:Rectangle = a parallelogram with two pairs of equal sides and all angles 90oSquare = a parallelogram with all sides equal in length and all angles 90oRhombus = a parallelogram with all sides equal in length, but all angles not (necessarily) 90o

Does a parallelogram have two pairs of opposite sides parallel?
Yes it does. All the four sides have an opposite. The opposites are parallel so in a parallelogram there are two pairs of parallel sides.
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.
