No. A quadrilateral is trapezoid if it has at least one pair of parallel sides.
The parallel sides of a trapezoid are the two bases

No, a trapezoid cannot have 3 bases. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases of the trapezoid. Therefore, there can only be 2 bases.

Yes, a trapezoid has two bases. They are the parallel lines on the top and bottom. Parallel lines look like this =
Depends on what you define the "base" as. A trapezoid always has two parallel bases, by definition. Hope this helps ! :)
If a segment is parallel to the bases of a trapezoid, it is indeed the median of the trapezoid. The median connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides and is equidistant from both bases. Additionally, the length of the median is the average of the lengths of the two bases. Thus, it effectively bisects the trapezoid into two smaller trapezoids.
