quadrilateral
polygon
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.
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.
