No. The formal definitions of parallelogram and trapezoid specifically exclude each other.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.

A trapezoid and a parallelogram are both quadrilaterals. A trapezoid has exactly two parallel faces. A parallelogram has two pairs of parallel faces.

A parallelogram has the same both "top" and "bottom" size. A trapezoid has different both "top" and "bottom" size.

Both are quadrilaterals. A trapezium (as it called in the UK) has only one pair of parallel sides, while a parallelogram has two pairs. Using these definitions, a trapezium is not a parallelogram nor is the converse true.

No, a trapezoid is not a parallelogram because a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides. In a parallelogram, bothpairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal.

No because they have different geometrical properties but they are both 4 sided quadrilaterals.
