No. Parallel means they are side by side and have the same distance continuously between them but they might be different lengths and therefore not the same. A trapezoid has two parallel sides of unequal lengths.

Is a Trapezoid a Parallelogram Explain?

NO!!!! Parallelogram has two pairs of opposite sides which are parallel. These pairs of opposite sides are the same length. Trapezium ; has one pair of opposite sides which are parallel. These parallel sides are NOT the same length .


What is the difference between a trapezoid and a parallelogram?

The difference between a trapezoid and a parallelogram is very simple: A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides and a parallelogram has exactly two pairs of parallel sides.


I am a quadrilateral that has 4 right angles. My opposite sides are parallel and of equal length. What figure am I?

A quadrilateral with 4 right angles and opposite sides that are parallel can be either a rectangle if the adjacent sides are of different length or a square if the adjacent sides are of the same length.


Does a trapezium have one pair of parallel sides?

Yes. Because the other 2 opposite sides do not keep the same distance


What has 4 sides but sides aren't all the same?

If all the sides are different lengths, it can only be called a quadrilateral. In general, four sided two dimensional objects are called quadrilaterals. When all four sides are the same length it is a square if all four corners are right angles. Otherwise it is a rhombus. If the opposite sides are the same length, it is a rectangle if the four corners are right angles, otherwise it is a parallelogram. In all these cases, the opposite sides are parallel to each other. There is also the trapezoid, a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides. If the opposite sides are the same length but not parallel. it is an isosceles trapezoid.

What is the name of a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel?

This is called a Parallelogram. Each pair of opposite sides will then be the same length. If all four sides are the same length, and opposite sides are parallel, then it is a rhombus. NB: If all four sides are the same length then the opposite sides must be parallel.

Which quadrilateral are you if you have four sides that are the same length and your opposite sides are parallel?

I am a rhombus. I don't need to prove that my opposite sides are parallel. If I'm a quadrilateral with four sides that are the same length, then I am definitely a rhombus.

Are the opposite sides of a parallelogram equal?

Yes. By definition, opposite sides are equal (i.e. same length) and parallel.
