Why are trapezoids outside the parallelogram?
Trapezoids are not considered parallelograms because parallelograms have 2 pairs of parallel sides, whereas trapezoids have only one. Some definitions of trapezoid say "at least one pair of parallel sides" in which case, some trapezoids would be parallelograms (the ones that have 2 pairs of parallel sides), but most textbooks in the US now define trapezoids as "exactly one pair of parallel sides."
Are some trapesoids parallelograms?
No trapezoids are not parallelograms. Trapezoids are actually quadrilaterals and they have one pair of opposite sides. Parallelograms by definition have 2 pairs of parallel sides.
Can some trapezoids be parallelograms?
No because a trapezoid only has 1 pair of parallel sides whereas a parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides but they are both 4 sided quadrilaterals.
If a quadrilateral has exactly one pair of parallel sides what type of quadrilateral is it?
A quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezoid (or trapezium in some regions). The parallel sides are referred to as the bases, while the other sides are the legs. Trapezoids can be further classified into isosceles trapezoids if the non-parallel sides are of equal length.
Which statement is true for all trapezoids?
"It is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides." is the true one. Some people define it as having at least one pair of parallel sides, so if your teacher is one of those people then all of the answers are wrong, but since all of the other answers are definitely wrong then this is the only one that could be right.

What are some trapezoids?
in mathematical terms trapezoids are 4 sided polygons that have two parallel sides

If a trapezoid is a parallelogram why is it?
Some people define trapezoids as having at least one pair of parallel sides. By this definition, all parallelograms are trapezoids, though not all trapezoids are parallelograms.Some people define trapezoids as having exactly one pair of parallel sides. By this definition, the terms "trapezoid" and "parallelogram" are mutually exclusive.

What polygon have 2 acute and 2 obtuse angles and two pairs of parallel sides?
A polygon with two acute angles, two obtuse angles, and two pairs of parallel sides is known as a trapezoid (or trapezium in some regions). Specifically, it can be classified as an irregular trapezoid, where one pair of opposite sides is parallel, and the angles vary in measure. This configuration allows for the presence of both acute and obtuse angles while maintaining the parallel sides characteristic of trapezoids.
Are some trapezoids rhombuses?
Yes. To be a trapezoid, a quadrilateral must have one pair of sides that are parallel. Since rhombuses are parallelograms, they are all also trapezoids, so a subset of trapezoids are rhombuses.
Classification of a trapezoid?
A trapezoid, or trapezium in some regions, is classified as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. In addition to the standard trapezoid, there are specific types, including isosceles trapezoids, where the non-parallel sides are equal in length, and right trapezoids, which have one or more right angles. The properties and angles of trapezoids can vary widely, but their defining characteristic remains the presence of parallel sides.
Are some rectangles also trapezoids?
True. All rectangles are trapezoids. (In England a trapezoid is known as a trapezium.)
Is an quadrilateral a trapezoid?
Some are, and some are not. A trapezoid is a special kind of quadrilateral ... one in which two of the four sides are parallel. So all trapezoids are quadrilaterals, but there are also a lot of other quadrilaterals that are not trapezoids.
