A trapezoid has only one pair of unequal parallel sides whereas a rhombus has two pairs of equal parallel sides

The main difference between trapezoids and rhombuses is their shape. A trapezoid has one pair of opposite sides that are parallel, while a rhombus has all sides equal in length. Additionally, a trapezoid can have non-parallel sides of different lengths, while a rhombus always has opposite sides that are parallel to each other.
Rhombuses always have 4 equal sides, trapezoids do not.
All 4 sides of a rhombus must be equal, otherwise it's not a rhombus.

They both have 4 sides but the rhombus sides are equal in length
A rhombus is an irregular quadrilateral and so, to that extent there is no difference. However, a rhombus does have sides of equal length which is not true of all irregular quadrilaterals.
