How many sides does a parallelogram have?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer: (B)

A parallelogram is a four-sided figure. Shapes are often named by how many sides they have: a triangle has three, a quadrilateral has four, a pentagon has five, and a hexagon has six. So a parallelogram has four sides, which you can also see as two pairs of opposite sides.
