A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases, and the non-parallel sides are called legs. The bases can be of different lengths, but they must be parallel to each other. The angles formed by the bases and the legs of a trapezoid can vary in size.

In geometry, a trapezoid, known as a trapezium outside of North America, is characterized by a convex quadrilateral with at least a single pair of parallel sides. However, some quadrilaterals with two pairs of parallel sides are simply known as parallelograms, and not considered a trapezoid at all.
