you're a pentagon with uneven sides? (like home plate)
-
Are you a rectangle?
-
A trapezoid.
-
as long as one section looks like this: |_| then the rest could be any shape... You're probably thinging something akin to a square with a triangle on top, though.

you are a trapezoid that looks like this:
-
The number of sides is indeterminate -- could have a hundred or more sides. The simplest shape to fit the description is a trapezoid.

1) you cannot be a triangle. 2) If you are a quadrilateral, then you are a trapezoid. "every quadrilateral falls into three categories: - those with two pairs of parallel sides, - those with only one pair of parallel sides, and - those with no parallel sides." " trapezoids (one pair of parallel sides), parallelograms (two pair of parallel sides), and trapeziums (no parallel sides)." Source and further information: http://www.uen.org/Lessonplan/preview.cgi?LPid=11235 Notice that you could also be a complex quadrilateral, that is, crossing itself, like this: ++++ .+....+ ..+...+ ...+..+ ....+.+ .....++ ......+ ......++ ......+.+ ......+..+ ......+...+ ......+....+ ......++++ 3) Moreover, you could be a polygon with more than four sides. Many of them would fulfill those conditions.
