Which shape has two pairs of parallel sides?

  1. Trapezoid

  2. Square

  3. Triangle

  4. Circle

The correct answer is: Square

The shape that has two pairs of parallel sides is a square. In geometry, a square is a special type of rectangle and a quadrilateral where all four sides are equal in length and all angles are right angles. Importantly, a square has two pairs of opposite sides that are both parallel to each other, fulfilling the requirement for having two pairs of parallel sides. On the other hand, a trapezoid only has one pair of parallel sides, a triangle does not have any parallel sides, and a circle does not have sides at all. Hence, the characteristics of a square make it the correct choice for the shape defined by having two pairs of parallel sides.
