Why is a trapezoid also a parallelogram?
First of all, a trapezoid is not always a parallelogram. Did you mean the reverse: "Why is a parallelogram also a trapezoid"? If so, this depends upon your definition of a trapezoid and parallelogram. Some people define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides, and a parallelogram as a quadrilateral with exactly two pairs of parallel sides. According to these definitions, a trapezoid can *NEVER* be a parallelogram, so your question is meaningless. However, others might define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral with one *or two* pairs of parallel sides. If you use this definition, then all parallelograms are also trapezoids, much in the same manner that all squares are also rectangles.
