A square
A shape with one or more parallel sides is called a trapezoid (or trapezium in some regions). In a trapezoid, at least one pair of opposite sides is parallel. Other shapes, like rectangles and parallelograms, also have parallel sides. These characteristics are key in distinguishing these geometric figures.
Not all four-sided shapes have one pair of parallel sides. For example, a rectangle and a trapezoid can have one pair of parallel sides, but a general quadrilateral does not necessarily have any parallel sides. Shapes like rhombuses and squares have two pairs of parallel sides, while irregular quadrilaterals may have none. Thus, the presence of parallel sides depends on the specific type of four-sided shape.

Quadrilaterals are two-dimensional shapes that have four sides. Quadrilaterals that have only one set of parallel sides are called trapezoids.

It is impossible. You must have at least two sides which are parallel to one another.

trapezoids
The only polygon that absolutely positively never has any parallel sides is a triangle. Any other shape comprised of four or more straight line segments could have one or more pairs that are parallel.
A trapezium, or any one of irregular polygons of 5 or more sides.
Quadrilaterals are two-dimensional shapes that have four sides. Quadrilaterals that have only one set of parallel sides are called trapezoids.
You need at least one pair of parallel sides. Most trapezoids have that.

No, shapes with odd numbers of sides do not always lack parallel sides. For example, a trapezoid is a four-sided shape (even number of sides) that has one pair of parallel sides, while an irregular pentagon (five sides) can have no parallel sides at all. The presence of parallel sides depends on the specific properties and measurements of the shape, not solely on whether the number of sides is odd or even.
