Math Problem Statement

Which shapes have 2 pairs of parallel sides? Choose ALL that are correct.

Solution

The problem asks which shapes have two pairs of parallel sides. Let's analyze the shapes:

  1. Top-left shape: A green parallelogram. It has two pairs of parallel sides.
  2. Top-middle shape: A green trapezoid with only one pair of parallel sides.
  3. Top-right shape: A red shape that resembles a triangle, so it has no parallel sides.
  4. Bottom-left shape: A green triangle-like shape with no parallel sides.
  5. Bottom-middle shape: A pink parallelogram with two pairs of parallel sides.
  6. Bottom-right shape: A blue rectangle, which has two pairs of parallel sides.

Thus, the shapes that have two pairs of parallel sides are:

  • Top-left (Green Parallelogram)
  • Bottom-middle (Pink Parallelogram)
  • Bottom-right (Blue Rectangle)

Would you like more details on how to identify parallel sides in shapes, or have any other questions?

Tip: In geometry, parallel sides are lines that will never meet, no matter how far they are extended!
