A trapezoid (or trapezium) is a quadrilateral that has at least one pair of parallel sides and can have one set of equal sides. In an isosceles trapezoid, specifically, the non-parallel sides are equal in length. This unique property differentiates it from other types of trapezoids, where the non-parallel sides may not be equal.
If a set of equal sides are adjacent, then the quadrilateral is a "kite" shape. If a set of equal sides are opposite, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

A quadrilateral with only one set of perpendicular sides is typically a right trapezoid or right kite. In a right trapezoid, one pair of opposite sides is parallel, and the non-parallel sides meet at right angles. In a right kite, two pairs of adjacent sides are equal, and one pair of opposite angles is equal, with one set of sides meeting at right angles.
trapzoid
A quadrilateral with exactly one set of parallel lines is known as a trapezoid (or trapezium in some countries). In this shape, one pair of opposite sides is parallel, while the other pair is not. The parallel sides are referred to as the bases, and the non-parallel sides are called the legs. Trapezoids can have various forms, including isosceles trapezoids, where the legs are of equal length.

A trapezoid is unique because it is a quadrilateral that has one set of parallel sides, and one set that is not parallel.

Yes. A trapezoid has four sides, and hence, is a quadrilateral.* The US definition of a trapezoid has one set of parallel sides. In the UK, this is called a trapezium.
A quadrilateral must have one and only one set of a parallel sides to be a trapezoid.
