BlakeNo, a trapezoid does not have a pair of perpendicular lines. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides, but the sides are not required to be perpendicular. Perpendicular lines intersect at a 90-degree angle, which is not a characteristic of a trapezoid.

What shape has one set of perpendicular lines with four sides?
A right trapezoid has exactly one pair of perpendicular lines and is a quadrilateral.
How many pairs of perpendicular lines does a trapezoid have?
Can have no pairs or one pair...
How is a trapezoid different to a rectangle?
a trapezoid has 1 pair of parallel lines and a rectangle has 2 parallel lines
How many pairs of parallel lines are in a trapezoid?
A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides. They are opposite parallel lines of different lengths.
Are a trapezoid's diagonals ever perpendicular?
Yes, they can be. Here is an example to see how this is true. Construct two perpendicular lines AB and CD that intersect at a point O. Let AO = CO, BO = DO and AO ≠ BO, then ABDC forms an isosceles trapezoid. If the lines are not perpendicular, then also ABDC is an isosceles trapezoid and it has perpendicular diagonals.
