A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two parallel sides.
A trapezoid only has one parallel side.</font>
I dunno. How about this description: the end view looks like what remains from an isosceles triangle, when one cuts off part of the triangle and does so, parallel to the only non-equal side, and wildly tosses that newly formed but smaller isosceles triangle away.
Hey, I am looking at one just now (got it but a week ago) and it is just as I described above except for its nicely fashionable rounded edges............I think.
BTW a parallelogram has
2 pairs of parallel sides, a trapezoid has but
1 pair of parallel sides...........I think.
