What is a polygon with 4 sides none of the same length?
The only terms that definitely apply are "quadrilateral" (or more specifically an "incongruent quadrilateral") and "quadrangle."The polygon may also be a trapezoid or a trapezium, but it is also possible to have a trapezoid or trapezium with two sides equal. Also note that the British and American definitions of trapezoid and trapezium are exactly reversed: an American trapezoid is a British trapezium, and a British trapezoid is an American trapezium.A polygon with 4 sides is called a quadrilateral. There is no special name to indicate that it has no two equal sides.
Why is a trapezoid a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral is not a trapezoid?
For the same reason that a cat is an animal but an animal is not always a cat. Because a trapezoid is a special kind of quadrilateral. A quadrilateral is anything with four sides. A trapezoid has four sides, and also two of them are parallel to each other. Therefore some quadrilaterals are trapezoids, but most of them aren't.
A quadrilateral that has only two parallel sides is called a?
A trapezoid.
