No, the side pieces of the frame will not be parallel. This can be explained by looking at the angles cut on each end of the top section and the side pieces.
In the given diagram, the top section of the window frame has a 37º angle cut on each end. Let's call the top section of the frame as "AB", with A and B being the endpoints.
Now, each side piece of the frame has a 50º angle cut at their top ends, let's call these side pieces as "CD" and "EF". Therefore, the angles at the top ends of the side pieces are 50º each.
Since angles A and B of the top section are smaller (37º) than angles C and D (50º) of the side pieces, we can conclude that the two side pieces will not be parallel. This can be visualized by imagining intersecting lines extended from each side piece towards the top section. The lines will intersect each other, indicating that the side pieces are not parallel.
