Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides. A parallelogram has two pair of parallel sides.
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."
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.
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.
Trapezoids and kites are both types of quadrilaterals, meaning they each have four sides. They can have pairs of parallel sides; trapezoids have at least one pair of parallel sides, while kites have two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. Additionally, both shapes can exhibit symmetry: kites have one line of symmetry along the axis that connects the unequal angles, while some trapezoids, specifically isosceles trapezoids, have a line of symmetry as well.
No, trapezoids are not parallelograms. A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides, while a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, while some trapezoids may appear similar to parallelograms, they do not meet the criteria to be classified as such.

in mathematical terms trapezoids are 4 sided polygons that have two parallel sides
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.
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.
"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.
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.
A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides is called a trapezoid (or trapezium in some regions). In this shape, the parallel sides are referred to as the bases, while the other two sides are called the legs. Trapezoids can be classified further into isosceles trapezoids, where the legs are of equal length, and right trapezoids, which have one right angle.
A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. While it typically does not have a requirement for congruent sides, some specific types of trapezoids, such as isosceles trapezoids, do have one pair of congruent non-parallel sides. Therefore, a trapezoid may have one pair of congruent sides, but it is not a defining characteristic of all trapezoids.
