What shape has two pairs of equal sides?

parallelogram
A parallelogram has two pairs of equal sides. It has two pairs of equal angles.

Can a kite be a parallelogram?

A kite is generally not considered a parallelogram. A kite is usually defined as having two sets of consecutive congruent sides. If the definition includes the phrase two DISTINCT sets of congruent sides it will not be a parallelogram, as the opposite sides will not be congruent.

What is a quadrilateral that has 2 separate pairs of equal length sides but is not a parallelogram?

Explanation: Kite: two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. This implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure.

What are some shapes that are not parallelogram?

An ordinary quadrilateral with no equal sides is not a parallelogram. A kite has no parallel lines at all. A trapezium and and an isosceles trapezium have one pair of opposite sides parallel. A Concave quadrilateral or arrowhead does not have parallel sides.

What is a four sided shape with unequal sides called?

Irregular quadrilateral (British English) or trapezium (North American English): no sides are parallel. ( In British English, this was once called a trapezoid. For more, see Trapezoid ยง Trapezium vs Trapezoid) Trapezium (UK) or trapezoid (US): at least one pair of opposite sides are parallel.

What is a quadrilateral with 2 separate pairs of equal sides?

A quadrilateral with two separate pairs of equal adjacent sides is commonly called a kite.

What is a square but not a parallelogram?

Squares are quadrilaterals with 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles, and they also have two sets of parallel sides. Parallelograms are quadrilaterals with two sets of parallel sides. It is not true when a parallelogram has no right angles.

How do you find the diagonal of a kite?

One diagonal has a measurement of and the area of the kite is . Find the sum of the two perpendicular interior diagonals. Explanation: You must find the length of the missing diagonal before you can find the sum of the two perpendicular diagonals.
