A trapezoid is different from other quadrilaterals that have 2 pairs of parallel sides in that a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides of different lengths.
There is no difference from other quadrilaterals because in common with other quadrilaterals it has 4 sides and 4 interior angles that add up to 360 degrees.

It has 2 classifications which are a trapezoid and an isosceles trapezoid
A rhombus's sides are all equal, but it has no right angles.
There are more than 4 other types of quadrilaterals.A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides. All other quadrilaterals have no parallel sides or two pairs.
There is no difference from other quadrilaterals because in common with other quadrilaterals it has 4 sides and 4 interior angles that add up to 360 degrees.
A trapezoid only has one pair of opposite parallel sides of different lengths but like all other quadrilaterals it has 4 sides.

A parallelogram has two pairs of sides which are parallel.

A rhombus's sides are all equal, but it has no right angles.
There are more than 4 other types of quadrilaterals.A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides. All other quadrilaterals have no parallel sides or two pairs.
Rectangles have only right angles (which means 90o angles) whereas quadrilaterals can have any kind of angles, as long as they have 4 sides.
Quadrilaterals do not bisect each other. They could in special cases. In parallelograms (types of quadrilaterals), the diagonals bisect each other.
All four of it's sides are parallel to the one opposite it.
It has exactly one pair of parallel sides.
