A trapezoid is a four-sided polygon (quadrilateral) that is not a parallelogram. In a trapezoid, at least one pair of opposite sides is parallel, while the other pair is not. This distinguishes it from parallelograms, where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. An example of a trapezoid is a rectangle, which has one pair of opposite sides that are parallel and the other pair that is perpendicular to them.
