There is no specific name. For example, if you number the sides of a regular hexagon sequentially from 1 to 6, then sides 1 and 3 are not parallel but there is no specific name for that pair. In the context of the hexagon they do not meet - even if they do so way outside the hexagon.
If they do meet up in the context of the shape, then they will be adjacent or intersecting sides.

Does a trapezium have any equal sides?
It can do. The non-parallel sides of an isosceles trapezium will be equal. Also, one of the non-parallel sides could be equal to one of the parallel sides.
Does trapezium have parallel sides?
A trapezium has two parallel sides (of unequal length) and two non-parallel sides.
Do the two non parallel sides of a trapezoid are congruent then the trapezoid is isosceles?
Yes the non parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent
What makes parallel sides different from sides that aren't parallel?
Parallel sides are sides that (in a plane) do not meet whereas sides which are not parallel do meet at some point at an angle greater than 0°.
What 2D shape has a pair of parallel sides?
Any polygon with four or more sides can have a pair of parallel sides. It is also possible to to have non-polygonal shapes - eg a cigar-shape - that has parallel sides.
What are the non-parallel sides of a trapazoid called?
They are the lateral sides or the transverse sides.
What are non parallel sides of a trapezoid called?
The legs or transverse sides.
The non parallel sides on a trapezoid are called?
the Legs
What are the non parallel sides of a trapezoid called?
legs
What is a shape with 2 parallel sides called?
There is no generic name. Any polygon with 4 or more sides can have 2 parallel sides. There are also non-polygonal shapes that can have parallel sides: for example, a circle that is stretched out into a cigar shape can have two parallel sides.

Does trapezium have parallel sides?

What has four sides one pair of parallel sides non-parallel sides are congruent?
Trapezoid
A qudrlateral with exactly one pair of oppiset sides that are parallel sides?
A trapezoid has two parallel sides and two non parallel sides.
Do the two non parallel sides of a trapezoid are congruent then the trapezoid is isosceles?
Yes the non parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent
Which shapes have a parallel sides?
All regular polygons with an even number of sides. Irregular polygons with an odd number of sides can have parallel sides. There are also non polygonal shapes that can have parallel sides.
Can any side of a trapezoid can be called a base?
The two parallel sides are called the bases, and the two non-parallel sides are the legs. If you call any other pair of sides the bases, the formula for the area of the trapezoid will no longer work.
