A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides, which are its bases. The other two sides, called the legs, are not parallel and can be either perpendicular or slanted, depending on the specific type of trapezoid. In summary, a trapezoid has one pair of parallel lines and zero perpendicular lines by definition.

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.
A trapezoid has 2 parallel lines. It may or may not have perpendicular lines.
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.

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
