Does a trapezoid have exactly one pair of an right angle?
No.
Can a trapezoid be a rectangle and why?
NO. A trapezoid cannot be a rectangle. If a parallelogram has one right angle then it is a rectangle. A trapezoid doesn't satisfy this condition because a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one parallel side which means that it doesn't have a right angle.
Is there an isosceles trapezoid have at least one right angle?
Yes, an isosceles trapezoid can have at least one right angle. In such a trapezoid, the non-parallel sides are equal in length, and if one of the angles between a base and a non-parallel side is a right angle, the trapezoid will still maintain its isosceles properties. This configuration results in a trapezoid that is both isosceles and contains a right angle.
Is it possible to have a proper trapezoid with one right angle?
no
Why can't a trapezoid have right angle?
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has one pair of parallel sides. Since a right angle is formed by two perpendicular lines, it would mean that one of the non-parallel sides would have to be perpendicular to one of the parallel sides, which violates the definition of a trapezoid. Therefore, a trapezoid cannot have a right angle.
