Six parallel sides in pairs? Sounds like a cube.

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"
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.

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.)

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.
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.
no some shapes like the rhombus have 4 sides making it a quadrilateral but 2 of its sides are not parallel
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular. A rhombus is a special kind of parallelogram. It has the characteristics of a parallelogram (both pairs of opposite sides parallel, opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, diagonals bisect each other.) It also has special characteristics. It has four congruent sides. So it looks like a lopsided or squished square. Its diagonals are perpendicular. Another property: each diagonal bisects two angles of the rhombus.
a sailboat like shape. draw two lines perpendicular to each other. then draw a line from the tip of each of the perpendicular lines. this should make one triangle. you have 2 90 degrees angles from the perpendicular lines and none of the 4 lines are parallel. you could imagine that one side is the diagonal side ofthe triangle. one side is the vertical line. and the two other sides are the horizontal line cut in two by the vertical line. altogether it is 4 sides.
