No. They are parallel only in RIGHT prisms or RIGHT cylinders. However, they are almost always parallel for school level questions.

Depends on what you define the "base" as. A trapezoid always has two parallel bases, by definition. Hope this helps ! :)

Parallel.


The median of a trapezoid is always parallel to the bases?

FALSE


Does a prism always have two congruent parallel bases?

Yes, a prism always has two congruent parallel bases. These bases are identical shapes located at opposite ends of the prism, and the sides connecting them are parallelograms. This characteristic defines the prism and distinguishes it from other polyhedra. The congruence and parallelism of the bases are essential for the prism's geometric properties.


Are the bases of a trapezoid always two horizontal sides?

No, the bases of a trapezoid are not always horizontal sides. A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides, which can be oriented in any direction, not just horizontally. The parallel sides are referred to as the bases, while the other two sides are the legs, and they can be of varying lengths and angles.
