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.
A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides.
One pair.

A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides. The defining characteristic of a trapezoid is that it has at least one pair of sides that are parallel, while the other pair can be of different lengths and are not parallel.
One pair.
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of sides parallel.
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.
A trapezoid has only 1 pair of opposite parallel sides of different lengths
One pair. And the other pair must be non-parallel.
A non-regular quadrilateral can have either zero, one, or two pairs of parallel sides. If it has no parallel sides, it is called a trapezoid; if it has one pair of parallel sides, it is still considered a trapezoid; and if it has two pairs of parallel sides, it is classified as a parallelogram. Thus, the maximum number of parallel sides a non-regular quadrilateral can have is two.
A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides. They are opposite parallel lines of different lengths.
A pentagon can have anywhere from zero to two pairs of parallel sides, depending on its specific shape. In a regular pentagon, there are no parallel sides, while in an irregular pentagon, it may have one or two pairs. For example, a trapezoid-shaped pentagon will typically have one pair of parallel sides.
