To determine the largest number of parallel lines in a regular polygon with an even number of sides, you can use the formula ( n/2 ), where ( n ) is the number of sides. This is because each pair of opposite sides can be drawn parallel to each other. For example, in a regular hexagon (6 sides), there can be 3 pairs of parallel lines, yielding 3 parallel lines.
Of a regular hexagon, yes, since it has an even number of sides.
A concave hexagon can have 6 perpendicular sides if you count the external angle of one. The angles would be 90, 90, 90, 90, 90, 270
p = a. In a regular polygon with an even number of sides, every side is parallel to the one opposite it. So all a sides are parallel.
2 is the answer
Providing that it is a regular 6 sided hexagon then it will have 3 pairs of opposite parallel sides. Though an irregular hexagon (shaped as the outline of an L) can have 2 sets of three parallel sides.

Four: two pairs.

The polygon may have 2n sides, where n is any whole number greater than 1
a pentagon has 5 sides total, and no parallel sides. A hexagon has 6 sides, so it has 3 parallel sides. any shape with an odd number of equal sides has 0 parallel sides, no matter how many sides it has. every shape with an even number of equal sides will have the # of sides divided by 2 (#/2) of parallel sides.

The largest number possible is infinity
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.
