What figure is 2 dimensional with two pairs of parallel sides has no right angles and all sides are the same length?

A rhombus. More information... The no right angles is throwing me, but I will add this comment: A square A four-sided polygon having equal-length sides meeting at right angles. The sum of the angles of a square is 360 degrees. A Parellelogram is a four-sided polygon with two pairs of parallel sides. The sum of the angles of a parallelogram is 360 degrees. A Rhombus is a four-sided polygon having all four sides of equal length. The sum of the angles of a rhombus is 360 degrees. So, a Square is actually a Parellelogram and Rhombus as well; and it has 4 right angles. So... I am not sure that Parellelogram and Rhombus are what you were looking for,
