Short answer:
- A general trapezoid has no line of symmetry.
- An isosceles trapezoid has exactly one line of symmetry: the perpendicular bisector of the two bases (an axis perpendicular to the parallel sides through their midpoints).
Extra note (definitions vary):
- If you use the inclusive definition that allows parallelograms as trapezoids, special cases occur: a rectangle (two perpendicular symmetry axes) or a square (four symmetry lines) are also symmetric.
