A triangle is not a quadrilateral, but a parallelogram and trapezoid are.
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides whereas a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides
A parallelogram has two sets of sides that are parallel to each other. A trapezoid only has one set of sides that are parallel.
A parallelogram is a 4-sided figure in which both sets of opposing sides are parallel and of equal length. A trapezoid is a 4 sided figure in which only one set of opposing sides is parallel and those sides are not in lenght.
They are both 4 sided quadrilaterals but a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel line of different lengths whereas a parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel lines
