The number of pairs of parallel sides in a polygon varies depending on the type of polygon. For example, a rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides, while a trapezoid has one pair. Regular polygons, like a hexagon, typically do not have any pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, the total can range from zero to multiple pairs, depending on the specific polygon in question.
