A cylinder has circular parallel bases
false
There are several cases: any 3 dimensional or more object. Since a polygon is defined as being confined to a single plane, any shape that violates the plane is not a polygon but may still have parallel bases. For cases in only 2 dimensions: Any object that has curves in addition to the parallel bases. A polygon's definition includes only straight sides. Finally, unclosed shapes can have 2 parallel bases with out being polygons even if in a single plane and made up of only straight line sides. A polygon must be closed.
The importance is that parallel lines must never meet.
2. One at the top and one at the bottom. The face that is cylindrical cannot be counted as a base because it is curved - in 3D shapes the base must be flat.

This shape is called a rhombus. Its area can be found by averages the two "bases" (i.e. the parallel sides: (b1+b2)/2) and multiplying that average by the height of the rhombus. Remember, the height must be perpendicular to one of the bases.
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases, and the non-parallel sides are called legs. The bases can be of different lengths, but they must be parallel to each other. The angles formed by the bases and the legs of a trapezoid can vary in size.
Many references consider a face must be a flat surface, so a cylinder would fit this.

A trapezium must have one pair of parallel sides and the other sides must not be parallel - since in that case it becomes a parallelogram.
