Answer:

Explanation:

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. In other words, a trapezoid has two opposite sides that are parallel, called the bases, and the other two sides are called the legs or lateral sides.

So, to conclude that a quadrilateral is a trapezoid, you must determine that:

1)Two of its sides are parallel.

2)The other two sides are not parallel.

If these two conditions are met, then the quadrilateral is a trapezoid.

(If a trapezoid has two pairs of parallel sides, then it is known as a parallelogram, which is a special type of trapezoid.)
