Do some trapezoids have two pairs of parallel side's is that true?
Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides. A parallelogram has two pair of parallel sides.
Are trapezoids retangles?
No, trapezoids are not rectangles. While both shapes have four sides, rectangles have opposite sides that are equal in length and all interior angles are right angles, whereas trapezoids have only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.
Why are trapezoids outside the parallelogram?
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."
Do trapezoids have 2 pair of parallel sides?
No. A trapezoid only has one pair of parallel sides.
Do all trapezoids have a pair of parallel sides?
Yes.
What quadrilateral is not a parallelogram?
Trapezoids are not parallelograms. Trapezoids are 4 sides with 1 set of parallel sides. Parallelograms are 4 sided with opposite sides that are parallel.
Do some trapezoids have two pairs of parallel side's is that true?
Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides. A parallelogram has two pair of parallel sides.
Are trapezoids a parrelleogram?
Yes, because trapezoids have one pair of parallel sides.
Are trapezoids retangles?
No, trapezoids are not rectangles. While both shapes have four sides, rectangles have opposite sides that are equal in length and all interior angles are right angles, whereas trapezoids have only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.

What is the difference between triangles and trapezoids?
Triangles have three sides while trapezoids are quadrilaterals with four sides. Trapezoids have one set of parallel lines. Triangles do not have any sets of parallel lines.
Are there any trapezoids that are also rhombuses?
yes - all the rhombuses. By definition a trapezoid has two parallel sides, a rhombus also has two parallel sides - because both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. So all rhombuses are trapezoids (but not all trapezoids are rhombuses)
Do trapezoids have 2 pair of parallel sides?
No. A trapezoid only has one pair of parallel sides.
What shapes have 1 set of parallel sides?
trapezoids
Do trapezoids have parallel sides?
Yes, one pair.
Do all trapezoids have a pair of parallel sides?
Yes.
What has parallel sides?
Parallelograms, squares, trapezoids and rectangles
