There are only two proper names for the shape: trapezoid (US) and trapezium (rest of the English speaking world - which is very much larger). Any other names are too broad and would include lots of shapes that are anything but trapezoids. A trapezoid is a polygon but so is any plane shape with 3 or 5 or more straight sides. A quadrilateral is better, but that terms includes (for example) a square which is certainly NOT a trapezoid.

Sure thing, honey. A trapezoid can also be called a trapezium, a trapez, a convex quadrilateral, a irregular quadrilateral, a tetragon, a trapezoidum, and a trapeze. Hope that clears things up for ya!

Oh, dude, let's see... you can call a trapezoid a "four-sided polygon with one pair of parallel sides," or you could spice it up and say it's a "quadrilateral with one set of parallel lines." Some people might even call it a "quadrangle with slanted sides." Like, there are so many ways to describe this shape, it's almost like giving it a new identity every time you talk about it.

In geometry, a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. Some alternative names for a trapezoid include trapezium (more commonly used in British English), irregular quadrilateral, convex quadrilateral, and right trapezoid (if one angle is a right angle). Additionally, a trapezoid can be referred to as a trapezium in American English, a trapeze, or a trapezoid.
