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.

They both have different colors.
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.
A triangle is not a quadrilateral, but a parallelogram and trapezoid are.
Parallelogram: 2 pairs of parallel lines Trapezoid: 1 pair of parallel lines
A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel sides whereas a trapezoid has only 1 pair of parallel sides
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.
A parallelogram has two sets of sides that are parallel to each other. A trapezoid only has one set of sides that are parallel.
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.
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
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).
To find the area of a trapezoid using the area of a corresponding parallelogram, you can draw a line parallel to one of the bases of the trapezoid that extends to form a parallelogram. The area of the parallelogram is calculated using the formula (A = \text{base} \times \text{height}). Since the trapezoid shares the same height and one pair of parallel sides with the parallelogram, you can find the area of the trapezoid by subtracting the area of the triangular sections outside the trapezoid from the area of the parallelogram. This approach effectively utilizes the relationship between the two shapes to derive the trapezoid's area.

They are both quadrilaterals because they have 4 sides
