A triangle cannot be formed by any number of trapezoids. Every time a trapezoid is stretched across one side of a triangle, a smaller triangle similar to the first is formed by the part not covered by the trapezoid.
Unless...
the triangle was equilateral and the trapezoids were isoceles.
You could fill the triangle with 3 trapezoids as follows:
Use the longer 'bottom' edge of each trapezoid and the 'left' edge of the next trapezoid to make up the edge of the triangle. The shorter 'top' edge of the trapezoids touch the 'right' edge of the next trapezoid in the center of the triangle.

A triangle or trapezoid with two congruent sides is?
An isosceles triangle and a isosceles trapezoid.
