Question

How are parallelograms and A trapezoid different
A) A trapezoid has only one Pair of parallel sides but a parallelograms has 2

b)a parallelograms Has four right angles but a Trapezoid doesn't need to have 4 right angles
c)a parallelograms Has only one pair of parallel sides but a trapezoid has two
d) A trapezoid has four right angles but a parallelograms

Answer 1

The correct option that describes how parallelograms and trapezoids differ is:

**A)** A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides but a parallelogram has two.

Here's a brief explanation of the terms:
- A **parallelogram** is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. This means that both pairs of opposite sides are equal in length and parallel to each other.
- A **trapezoid** (in American English) is a quadrilateral that has at least one pair of parallel sides. This means it can have one pair of parallel sides (the defining feature of a trapezoid), while the other pair does not need to be parallel.

Options B, C, and D contain inaccuracies regarding the definitions of parallelograms and trapezoids.
