There are more than 4 other types of quadrilaterals.A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides. All other quadrilaterals have no parallel sides or two pairs.
A trapezoid is different from other quadrilaterals that have 2 pairs of parallel sides in that a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides of different lengths.
Some types of quadrilaterals don't have parallel sides. Such as a diamond or a kite.
A rhombus is a type of parallelogram. Parallelograms are types of quadrilaterals. Everything that applies to quadrilaterals and parallelograms apply to rhombuses.Quadrilaterals have four sides and four angles.Parallelograms have at two pairs of opposite sides and opposite angles congruent. (Note: congruent is pretty much "equal", except for geometric figures). Both pairs of opposite sides are also parallel, hence the name "parallelogram".Rhombuses have all sides congruent.
A trapezium has one (and only one) pair of parallel sides.

Parallelogram -- 2 pairs of parallel sides Trapezoid -- exactly 1 pair of parallel sides Rhombus -- 4 congruent sides Rectangle -- 4 angles congruent Square -- four angles and sides congruent
Parallelogram -- 2 pairs of parallel sides Trapezoid -- exactly 1 pair of parallel sides Rhombus -- 4 congruent sides Rectangle -- 4 angles congruent Square -- four angles and sides congruent
They are both types of quadrilaterals (polygons with four sides A rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides, all of which are congruent to each other. (have the same length) A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides.

There are three main types of quadrilaterals: parallelograms, trapezoids, and kites. Parallelograms have opposite sides parallel and equal in length. Trapezoids have one pair of parallel sides. Kites have two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length.
