No, because a trapezoid has 4 sides and a scale has to have 2 sides equal and 1 different.

What are two other names for a trapezoid?

A trapezoid is called a trapezium in the UK (because the UK trapezoid is scalene). In any case, a trapezoid is also a quadrilateral, in that it has four sides.


A scalene triangle and a trapezoid are both what polygons?

They are both irregular polygons


What are the names of all 16 quadrilaterals?

There are many types of quadrilaterals. These include the parallelogram, the rectangle, the square, rhombus, trapezoid, as well as the scalene trapezoid.


Is a quadrilateral a trapezoid?

No, a quadrilateral isn't always a trapezoid. One way to consider it is that all trapezoids are quadrilaterals (four-sided shapes), but not all quadrilaterals are trapezoids. Some quadrilaterals are concave quadrilaterals, some are scalene convex quadrilaterals (called trapezoids in the UK), some would be trapezoids, and some would be parallelograms (rectangles, squares, rhomboids, rhombi). If parallelograms are considered a special case of trapezoids, then trapezoids would include all non-scalene convex quadrilaterals, which is a highly inclusive definition.


What is another name for a trapezoid?

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral (four-sided figure) with one pair of sides parallel. It is also called a trapezium.The types of trapezoid are :scalene trapezoid - no sides equal in length, no angles equalisosceles trapezoid - base angles equal but opposing, two non-parallel sides equal in lengthright trapezoid - one base angle is a right angle (it will be one-half of a rectangle cut obliquely)A trapezoid is one example of a quadrilateral (any four-sided polygon) and an example of a polygon.
