What shape has two pairs of parallel sides but is not a parallelogram?

Answer 1

|\/**\/|

|/\__/\|

an irregular shape like the one poorly represented above. the top horizontal sides are parallel and the side vertical sides are also parallel, but there can be other non parallel sides like the \/'s an /\'s. depending on the situation this question is being asked for this answer might be adequate. hope this helped.

p.s. the in the middle of the shape can be ignored because they are there only to hold shape (spaces didn't work) and the asterisks at the top should be a line (same reasoning)

Any regular even-number sided polygon will have at least two pairs of parallel sides. A regular hexagon will have 3 pairs of parallel sides.
