A shape that has no pairs of parallel lines is called a trapezoid. In a trapezoid, only one pair of opposite sides are parallel, while the other pair is not. This distinguishes a trapezoid from shapes like rectangles, squares, and parallelograms, which have at least one pair of parallel sides. The properties of a trapezoid make it a unique and interesting geometric shape to study.

All triangles have no pairs of parallel lines.
Any regular polygon with an oddnumber of sides (regular pentagons, heptagons, nonagons, etc) also have no parallel lines.
Most irregular polygons will have no parallel sides, either.
A hexagon.
a square or rhombus
A nonagon is a nine-sided polygon. In a nonagon, there are four pairs of parallel lines. This is because the nonagon can be divided into three sets of parallel lines, each containing three parallel lines. Each set of parallel lines consists of three pairs of parallel lines.
Here are three shapes that have two pairs of parallel lines: square parallelogram rectangle There are many polygons with at least two pairs of parallel lines. hexagon (has 3 pairs of parallel lines) octagon (has 4 pairs) decagon (has 5 pairs)
A pentagon has no parallel lines.
