A trapezoid is a quadrilateral (four-sided figure) with one pair of sides parallel. It is also called a trapezium.

The types of trapezoid are :

scalene trapezoid - no sides equal in length, no angles equal

isosceles trapezoid - base angles equal but opposing, two non-parallel sides equal in length

right trapezoid - one base angle is a right angle (it will be one-half of a rectangle cut obliquely)

A trapezoid is one example of a quadrilateral (any four-sided polygon) and an example of a polygon.
