Whether or not the opposing angles of a trapezoid (UK trapezium) are equal depends on the axis of symmetry.
A trapezoid (trapezium) can be defined as a quadrilateral with one pair of opposite sides parallel.
It is not a parallelogram because only one pair of sides is parallel.
It is called a regular trapezoid if the sides that aren't parallel are equal in length and both angles coming from a parallel side are equal

Yes, an isosceles trapezoid has one pair of congruent opposite sides and congruent base angles
No. A trapezoid is a 4-sided flat shape with straight sides that has a pair of opposite sides parallel. The opposite angles not congruent.
The only real characteristic of a trapezoid is that one pair of opposite sides is parallel. For an isosceles trapezoid, in addition to one pair of opposite sides being parallel; the legs are congruent; each pair of base angles is congruent; and the diagonals are congruent.
trapezoid
A trapezoid Trapezoid - 2 congruent diagonals that do not bisect each other. No right angles and has 1 pair of opposite parallel sides.
