The following shape has
pairs of parallel sides.
A 5 sided figure made of a rectangle with a triangle removed from the bottom, left side and bottom, right side. The base of the rectangle is 9 units. The left side length of the figure is 5 units. The right side length of the figure is 4 units. A dashed line parallel to the height of the rectangle and a dashed line perpendicular to the height create a right triangle in the bottom, left and bottom, right side. The base of the left most right triangle is 3 units and the height is 4 units. The base of the right most right triangle is 4 units and the height is 5 units.
