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.
