What is a 4 sided polygon called?
quadrilateral
Definition: A quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides. A diagonal of a quadrilat- eral is a line segment whose end-points are opposite vertices of the quadrilateral.
What polygon has parallel lines?
We know that many types of quadrilaterals, such as the trapezoids, a rhombus, rectangles, and all the regular polygons (except for the triangle), have parallel sides. One other shape has parallel sides: the parallelogram. The parallelogram is a special type of quadrilateral.
What quadrilateral has 4 parallel sides?
| Name of Quadrilateral | Description |
|---|---|
| Rectangle | 2 pairs of parallel sides. 4 right angles (90°). Opposite sides are parallel and congruent. All angles are congruent. |
| Square | 4 congruent sides. 4 right angles (90°). Opposite sides are parallel. All angles are congruent. |
| Trapezoid | Only one pair of opposite sides is parallel. |

What is a polygon with 4 sides and 4 angles?
A quadrilateral is a polygon that has exactly four sides. (This also means that a quadrilateral has exactly four vertices, and exactly four angles.)
How many parallel lines does a pentagon have?
A pentagon has five sides and also has no sets of parallel lines.
Does a regular Pentagon have parallel sides?
A regular pentagon has no parallel or perpendicular sides, but a non-regular pentagon might have parallel and perpendicular sides. It all depends on the polygon.
What polygon has a right angle?
A rectangle is a special quadrilateral where opposite sides are congruent — that is, the same length — and each angle is a right angle. A square is also a special quadrilateral because all four sides are congruent and all four angles are right angles. They both are quadrilaterals (four sided polygons).

What quadrilateral has exactly two parallel sides?
Answer Wiki. A quadrilateral with exactly two parallel sides is called Trapezium(or a trapezoid) . The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezium and the other two sides are called the legs or the lateral sides. Any three sides of a Trapezium taken together, are greater than the third side.
Do parallel lines have the same slope?
Parallel lines and their slopes are easy. Since slope is a measure of the angle of a line from the horizontal, and since parallel lines must have the same angle, then parallel lines have the same slope — and lines with the same slope are parallel.
