How many more parallel sides does a parallelogram have than a trapezoid?
A pair more.
What are the similarities between a parallelogram and a trapezoid?
A parallelogram has two pairs of sides that are parallel when a trapezoid only has one. A parallelogram's opposite sides are congruent and opposite angles are congruent. A trapezoid has no opposite congruent sides or angles, unless it's an isosceles trapezoid, which base angles are congruent. They both have four sides and four interior angles that add up to 360 degrees.
What is a shape with two parallel sides but is not a parallelogram?
It can be any polygon with 5 or more sides. Or it can be a trapzium (trapezoid).
Are a parallelogram and trapezoid similar?
No. They cannot be similar because a parallelogram has two pairs of sides with equal length. A parallelogram cannot have more than one pair.
How many more sides does an octagon have than a trapezoid?
An octagon has four more sides than a trapezoid, because an octagon has 8 sides whereas a trapezoid has 4 sides
How many more pairs of parallel sides does a parallelogram have than a trapezoid?
2It has one pair more because a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides whereas a trapezoid only has one pair of opposite parallel sides of different lengths.
How are a trapezoid and a parallelogram different?
A trapezoid and parallelogram are both quadrilaterals. Their top and bottoms are parallel. In a parallelogram, all four sides are parallel making it look like a rectangle that was pushed on an angle. The trapezoid is more like the shape of an "A" with a square top.
Types of quadrilaterals?
Parallelogram -- 2 pairs of parallel sides Trapezoid -- exactly 1 pair of parallel sides Rhombus -- 4 congruent sides Rectangle -- 4 angles congruent Square -- four angles and sides congruent
How many more sides does a pentagon have than a parallelogram?
Pentagram has 5 sides A parallelogram has 4 (2 opposing sides parallel to eachother)
Which shape has a pair of opposite sides parallel?
Any shape with more than three sides can have a pair of parallel sides,but doesn't necessarily have.Every square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, and trapezoid hasat least one pair of parallel sides.
Does a trapezoid have at least one pair of parallel sides?
Not exactly. A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides -- no more and no less.
What is a shape that is a figure that is not a parallelogram with one pair of parallel sides?
It could be one of many irregular polygons with 4 or more sides.
How many sides does a quadrilateral have and name 2 or more types of quadrilaterals?
4 sides square rectangle rhombus trapezoid diamond kite
How many pairs of parallel sides does trapezoid have?
The more common definition of a trapezoid (or trapezium, outside of North America) is a four-sided figure with exactly one pair of parallel sides. By this definition, figures with two sets of parallel sides such as a rectangle are nottrapezoids.Some mathematicians use a more general definition that allows for one or more pair of parallel sides. By this definition, a rectangle, square, or rhombus would be considered as special cases of a trapezoid.
Can a trapezoid have more than one pair of parallel sides?
no
Is a polygon a quadrilateral?
Yes, a quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon with four angles. There are many kinds of quadrilaterals. The five most common types are the parallelogram, the rectangle, the square, the trapezoid, and the rhombus.A polygon means a shape with many sides so any shape with three or more sides could considered to be a polygon.
What is the shape of a trapezoid?
In North American usage, a trapezoid is a four-sided figure with two parallel sides. Outside of North America, the same figure is called a trapezium. In general usage, the name is applied only to figures that have exactly two parallel sides. Figures that have two pairs of parallel sides are called by their more-specific name, e.g. parallelogram, rectangle, etc. depending on their angles and side lengths.
