Six parallel sides in pairs? Sounds like a cube.

Oh, dude, a rhombus actually has 4 sides with all sides being equal in length. It does have 2 pairs of parallel sides, but it also has opposite angles that are equal, not to mention it's like a tilted square. So, yeah, it's definitely not a shape that's all about parallel sides and no perpendicular ones.
As far as we know, two lines can be perpendicular, or they can be parallel, but they can't be both.
I think it is these: Parallel: Perpendicular: it looks like an upside down capital "T"

Not necessarily; a rhombus has 2 pairs of opposite sides which are parallel, like the parallelogram, and its diagonals are perpendicular. (It also has all its sides of the same length.)

Normally, none.
The usual form for the area of a trapezoid is (average of the parallel sides) x height. If only the lengths of the sides are given, then calculation of the area requires trigonometry and multiple solutions are possible. Often, teachers will give a problem like this showing the two unequal parallel sides and two unequal, non-parallel sides with a diagram showing that one of the sides is perpendicular to the parallel sides. That side length would be the height.
Ah, isn't that a lovely question? In a parallelogram, there are two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel, but none of the sides are perpendicular to each other. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle, and in a parallelogram, the sides do not meet at right angles, they run parallel in a harmonious way. Just like nature, everything has its place and purpose in a parallelogram.
A polygon with only 1 pair of perpendicular sides is called a trapezoid. In a trapezoid, one pair of opposite sides are parallel, while the other pair are not parallel and intersect at a right angle. The sum of the interior angles of a trapezoid is always 360 degrees. Examples of trapezoids include isosceles trapezoids, right trapezoids, and scalene trapezoids.
Hexagons come in many different shapes and sizes. As long as the figure has 6 straight edges and 6 angles, (with closed figure, of course) it's a hexagon. A regular hexagon though, has no perpendicular sides.A regular 6 sided hexagon has no perpendicular lines but it does have 3 pairs of parallel lines.
Nothing. A perpendicular is an adjective, not a noun. A perpendicular, by itself, cannot exist. A perpendicular bisector, for example, does not have any sides.
