trapezoid
It could be a trapezoid
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has one pair of parallel sides. Since a right angle is formed by two perpendicular lines, it would mean that one of the non-parallel sides would have to be perpendicular to one of the parallel sides, which violates the definition of a trapezoid. Therefore, a trapezoid cannot have a right angle.
Since a trapezoid is a quadrilateral whose bases are parallel and not congruent, then one of its sides can be perpendicular to its bases (as the shortest distance between two parallel lines). Such a trapezoid is called a right trapezoid.

No, but it does have 1 pair of opposite parallel lines of different lengths
They both use perpendicular height and are in square units. Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*perpendicular height Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height
The only requirement for a trapezoid is that one pair of opposite sides be parallel. There could be trapezoids with a pair of perpendicular lines.
