Not all polygon have two pairs of parallel sides. For example, a square will, but not a triangle.
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 more than 3 sides can have two pairs of parallel sides.If it has only four sides and they make two parallel pairs, then it's a parallelogram.
Their are 4 pairs of parallel sides on an octagon. In fact, for any regular polygon with an even number of sides, there will be # of sides / 2 number of pairs of parallel lines.
General term for a polygon with 4 sides is a quadrilateral. A parallelogram is the special case with two pairs of parallel sides.
