You would think so, but a trapezoid is defined as having exactly one pair of parallel sides. So an isosceles trapezoid having 2 pairs would be breaking the rules.
However, there are some math experts who define trapezoid as having at least one pair of parallel sides. In this case it can happen.
The most important thing is to know which definition is being used. That will directly answer the question.

Is a tapezoid a parellelogram?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (four-sided polygon) containing TWO pairs of parallel sides. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with ONE pair of parallel sides. Therefore a trapezoid is NOT a parallelogram. Note: Both terms are misspelled in the question. The correct spellings are TRAPEZOID and PARALLELOGRAM.
How do you find the perimeter of a parellelogram?
i dont knowww
Is a rectangle a parellelogram?
yes, a rectangle is a parallelogram with right angles.
Is a trapezoid always an isosceles trapezoid?
No, not every trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid.
The median of a trapezoid bisects the bases of the trapezoid?
The altitude of a trapezoid bisects the bases of the trapezoid.
Is a trapezoid a parellelogram?
yes
Is a trapezoid always a parellelogram?
NO.
How many more sides does a trapezoid have then a parallelogram?
A parellelogram has equal sides, the trapezoid is a parallelogram.
A is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides?
A trapezium (most of the world) or a trapezoid (US).
Is a tapezoid a parellelogram?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (four-sided polygon) containing TWO pairs of parallel sides. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with ONE pair of parallel sides. Therefore a trapezoid is NOT a parallelogram. Note: Both terms are misspelled in the question. The correct spellings are TRAPEZOID and PARALLELOGRAM.
Is a square the only four sided shape?
No, there are many four sided shapes. The Square is one of them. Others include rectangle,trapezoid, parellelogram, and rhombus
Is a square a trapezoid or parellelogram?
Both. A trapezoid has 2 parallel sides, so a square fits this description. A parallelogram has parallel opposite sides, so a square also fits this description. It is also a rectangle, and the general name for any shape with four sides is a 'quadrangle'.
Is a square a parellelogram?
A square is always a parellelogram since it has equal sides.
What is the height of a trapezoid where base 1 is 15cm and base 2 is 25cm?
base 1 and base 2 are not for trapezoids, they are for parellelogram and u cant solve this i need the area to solve this is an impossible question
How do you compare and contrast a trapezoid and a parallelogram?
To compare, they both have a set of parellel sides and they each have four sides t its shape. To contrast, a trapezoid only has two sides with the same length, while a parellelogram has two sets of equal sides. * * * * * A trapezoid need not have any sides of equal length: only an isosceles one does.

not always
Is a parellelogram an isosceles triangle?
