The main difference between a parallelogram and a trapezoid is the number of parallel sides they have:
Parallelogram:
A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. Opposite sides are also equal in length, and opposite angles are equal in measure. Rectangles, rhombuses, and squares are all special types of parallelograms.
Trapezoid:
A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. The other pair of sides are not parallel. In North American English, it's called a trapezoid, while in British English, it's called a trapezium.

What was the difference between a red pirate flag and a black pirate flat?
They both have different colors.
What is the difference between a trapezoid and a parallelogram?
The difference between a trapezoid and a parallelogram is very simple: A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides and a parallelogram has exactly two pairs of parallel sides.
What is the difference between a quadrilateral an triangle?
A triangle is not a quadrilateral, but a parallelogram and trapezoid are.
What is the difference between a parralelogram a trapezoid?
Parallelogram: 2 pairs of parallel lines Trapezoid: 1 pair of parallel lines
What is the difference between a parallelogram and a trapiziod?
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides whereas a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides
How can you describe the difference between a parallelogram and a trapezoid?
A parallelogram has two sets of sides that are parallel to each other (as in, left and right sides are paralell to each other and the top and bottom are parallel to each other), whereas a trapezoid requires two parallel sides (such as left and right) and two non-parallel sides.
How can you tell the difference between a parallelagram and a trapezoid?
A parallelogram has two sets of sides that are parallel to each other. A trapezoid only has one set of sides that are parallel.
What is the difference between a parallelogram a trapezoid?
A parallelogram is a 4-sided figure in which both sets of opposing sides are parallel and of equal length. A trapezoid is a 4 sided figure in which only one set of opposing sides is parallel and those sides are not in lenght.
What is the difference between a trapizoid and a parallelogram?
They are both 4 sided quadrilaterals but a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel line of different lengths whereas a parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel lines
What is the difference between a parallelogram and a trapezoid?
In a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and equal. In a trapezoid (UK trapezium), only one set of sides is parallel, and the sides may all have unequal lengths, or two sides may have equal length with equal and opposite angles (this is routinely called an isosceles trapezoid).
What is the relation between a parallelogram and a trapezoid?
They are both quadrilaterals because they have 4 sides
What is the difference between an isosceles trapezoid and a trapezoid?
nothing
What are the similarities between a parallelogram and a trapezoid?
A parallelogram has two pairs of sides that are parallel when a trapezoid only has one. A parallelogram's opposite sides are congruent and opposite angles are congruent. A trapezoid has no opposite congruent sides or angles, unless it's an isosceles trapezoid, which base angles are congruent. They both have four sides and four interior angles that add up to 360 degrees.
