ProfessorA parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length. Additionally, opposite angles are also equal in measure. In contrast, a trapezium (or trapezoid in the United States) 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.
Well, honey, a parallelogram has opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length, while a trapezium only has one pair of parallel sides. So, basically, a parallelogram is like a fancy rectangle that didn't quite make it, and a trapezium is just a slanted quadrilateral trying to fit in with the cool kids. Hope that clears things up for ya!

A parallelogram has both pairs of sides parallel, whereas the trapezium has only one pair of sides parallel. For this to happen, the parallel sides have to be of different lengths.
What are the differences between a parallelogram and a trapezoid?
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of opp sides parallel but a trapezium has only 1 pair of opp sides parallel....a trapezium cannot be a paralellogram but a parallelogram can be a trapezium.
Is a parallelogram a trapazoid?
No, a parallelogram is not a trapezoid.
Can a parrallelogram be a trapezium?
No, a parallelogram cannot be a trapezium.
Is every trapezium is a parallelogram?
No
