This could be just about any quadrilateral. Is there anything else describing it? A trapezoid has 2 parallel sides and usually looks like the Pizza Hut roof symbol. A parallelogram is described as a rectangle that got run over by a bus by my math teacher :P

Parallelograms have two sets of parallel sides. The top and the bottom are parallel, the sides are parallel, but the top and side or bottom and sides aren't.

Rectangles have two sets of parallel sides, as do squares.

Hope this helps and wasn't too vague!

If those two show up as random slashes, dashes, and underscores, just ignore them. I typed them as demonstrations as the shapes, but they might show up wrong.
