A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides. This means that there are two lines within the trapezoid that are parallel to each other. The other two sides of the trapezoid are not parallel to each other. This unique property of a trapezoid distinguishes it from other quadrilaterals like a parallelogram, which has two pairs of parallel sides.

Oh, dude, a trapezoid has one pair of parallel lines. It's like the cool kid of the quadrilateral family, standing out with its unique shape. So yeah, just one pair of parallel lines, keeping things interesting in the world of geometry.

A trapezoid (or trapezium, outside of North America) has two parallel sides.

The more common definition is a four-sided figure with exactly one pair of parallel sides. By this definition, figures with two sets of parallel sides such as a rectangle are nottrapezoids.

Some mathematicians use a more general definition that allows for one or more pair of parallel sides. By this definition, a rectangle, square, or rhombus would be considered as special cases of a trapezoid.
