1. It is a quadrilateral that has 4 sides
2. It has 1 pair of parallel sides
3. Its 4 interior angles add up to 360 degrees

No, a trapezoid could not have three right angles. If it did, it would be a rectangle, as the fourth angle would need to be 90 degrees as well. A rectangle is not a trapezoid.

You cannot have a trapezoid with three sides! Or if the question was something like 'You know three of the four sides of a trapezoid' ; that cannot be done either, because there is no way of calculating what the length of the fourth side is.

A trapezoid, a trapezium, an isosceles trapezoid or trapezium and it is a 4 sided quadrilateral.
No because a trapezoid has 4 sides and a triangle has three if a trapezoid had three then it would be a triangle. If you had 3 trapezoids you could make a triangle!
No.

You have to cut the trapezoid into three shapes. The three shapes will be two triangles and one rectangle or square. You have to find the area of these three shapes and then add all of the three areas up to find the area of the trapezoid.

The type of characteristics a trapezoid has or any other shape has makes it special in so many different ways
