something like that, badly drawn above, for example.
A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides
A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides of different lengths.
Since the number of sides and vertices is different, it cannot be a 2-dimensional shape. The only 3-dimensional shape with 4 vertices is a tetrahedron and that does not have 6 sides. Consequently, there is no such shape.
Only one quadrilateral has only two parallel sides: the trapezium.
trapezoid
A four-sided shape in which only two sides are parallel is called a trapezoid. All two-dimensional, four-sided shapes are known as quadrilaterals.
A geometric shape with only one set of parallel sides is a trapezoid.
A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides
A polygon is a 2 dimensional shape with three or more sides that is closed in. A trapezoid is a four sided shape with only one pair of parallel sides. Therefore all trapezoids are polygons.
A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides of different lengths.
Since the number of sides and vertices is different, it cannot be a 2-dimensional shape. The only 3-dimensional shape with 4 vertices is a tetrahedron and that does not have 6 sides. Consequently, there is no such shape.
If the shape (a quadrilateral) has only 2 parallel sides, it is a trapezoid (UK trapezium).A shape with four sides and two sets of parallel sides is a parallelogram (rectangle, square, rhomboid, rhombus) because these figures have four sides and two sets of parallel sides.
Only one quadrilateral has only two parallel sides: the trapezium.
A trapezium.
trapezoid
A trapezium is a shape with four sides. Of these, one pair of sides are parallel. The only restriction on the other pair is that they are not parallel (because you then have a parallelogram).
The shape can only be a rectangle! A rectangle is a four-sided 2-dimentional figure, where every angle is a right angle, opposite sides are parallel, but the 4 sides are NOT equal.
