There is no combination of trapezoids which can form a triangle.

well not exactly, if you have three " isoceles like trapezoid", then you can, provided, you are allowed to overlap.

you should be able to figure it out now....

What if the triangle was equilateral and the trapezoids were isoceles?

You wouldn't need the trapezoids to overlap.

Use the longer 'bottom' edge of each trapezoid and the 'left' edge of the next trapezoid to make up the edge of the triangle. The shorter 'top' edge of the trapezoids touch the 'right' edge of the next trapezoid in the center of the triangle.

How many trapezoid in a triangle?

A triangle cannot be formed by any number of trapezoids. Every time a trapezoid is stretched across one side of a triangle, a smaller triangle similar to the first is formed by the part not covered by the trapezoid. Unless... the triangle was equilateral and the trapezoids were isoceles. You could fill the triangle with 3 trapezoids as follows: Use the longer 'bottom' edge of each trapezoid and the 'left' edge of the next trapezoid to make up the edge of the triangle. The shorter 'top' edge of the trapezoids touch the 'right' edge of the next trapezoid in the center of the triangle.
