When you join two trapezoids along their parallel sides, you can create a larger shape known as a parallelogram, provided that the trapezoids are oriented correctly. If the trapezoids are of the same size and shape, their union will form a parallelogram with bases equal to the lengths of the trapezoids' parallel sides. Alternatively, if you join them at an angle, you can create a more complex polygon.

parallelograms have two sets of parallel lines trapezoids do not
A trapezoid does not have a median since from any vertex, there is no single opposite side.
Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides. A parallelogram has two pair of parallel sides.

If you combine the two trapezoids with their longer sides attached to each other, then you will get a hexagon. However, if they are placed tessalated next to each other, then you will get a parallelogram.
Only when they are isosceles trapezoids.
Minimally, two (2) trapezoids are necessary to create a hexagon. (This solution comes from drawing a line straight across the center of the hexagon.) Most numbers (if not all) greater than two are also feasible, but with more finagling.
One half. Two trapezoids placed long base-to-long base create a hexagon.
parallelograms have two sets of parallel lines trapezoids do not
A trapezoid does not have a median since from any vertex, there is no single opposite side.
in mathematical terms trapezoids are 4 sided polygons that have two parallel sides
Parallelograms have two sets of parallel lines. Trapezoids only have one pair of parallel lines.

Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides. A parallelogram has two pair of parallel sides.
