The squirrel cage is skewed so that the force applied to the rotor it continuous. If they were straight then the force would be jerky, as whole of the bar is cutting the magnetic field lines at the same time. With the bars skewed the amount of the bar cutting the field line grows continuously and the next bar starts cutting the field lines as the first finishes.

also, slots are skewed to get uniform torque ,reduce the magnetic locking (also called COGGING EFFECT) between stator and rotor,and thirdly to reduce the magnetic humming noise during running condition

I admit to guessing, but I think it is because more surface area is exposed on the slanted surface which would decrease the resistance.

What do parallelograms look like?

A parallelogram is a four-sided shape with opposing sides being parallel. Therefore, a parallelogram may be a square, a rectangle, a rhombus (a sort of slanted square), or the shape most commonly referred to as a parallelogram is a sort of slanted rectangle. (Trapezoids are NOT parallelograms because only one pair of opposing sides are parallel)


Is it possible for the bases of a trapezoid to be equal?

No its parallel bases can never be equal in length. But if it is in the form of an isosceles trapezoid then its slanted sides are equal in length.
