No. A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with two parallel sides. Therefore, the quality of quadrilateral is necessary, and this condition is satisfied. ... Any other shape can have four sides, but if it does not have (at least) two parallel sides, it cannot be a trapezoid.
As the number of sides increases, the number of interior angles increases,and if the polygon is regular, the measure of each individual interior anglealso increases, always getting closer and closer to 180 degrees each.Eventually, if this keeps going to a ridiculous extreme, the figure keeps gettingcloser to the special polygon with an infinite number of sides and an infinitenumber of 180-degree interior angles, called a "circle".--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The formula for calculating the interior angle of one angle of a regular polygon is 180*(n-2)/n, where n is the number of sides. If you do a range of calculations for polygons with increasing numbers of sides, (you could stop at 1,000!) you will observe the truth of the explanatory statement given in the first paragraph above.
The first ten polygons in order of names and sides are as follows:- Triangle has 3 sides Quadrilateral has 4 sides Pentagon has 5 sides Hexagon has 6 sides Heptagon has 7 sides Octagon has 8 sides Nonagon has 9 sides Decagon has 10 sides Undecagon has 11 sides Dodecagon has 12 sides
It has 7 sides
