A trapezium and a square are both quadrilaterals, but the key difference is the number of parallel sides. A square has two sets of parallel sides and four right angles, while a trapezium has only one set of parallel sides.
Parallel sides:
A square has two pairs of parallel sides, while a trapezium has only one.
Angles:
A square has four right angles, while a trapezium can have any combination of angles as long as the interior angles add up to 360°.
Side lengths:
A square has four equal sides, while a trapezium can have sides of different lengths.
Classification:
A square is a regular quadrilateral because all its sides and angles are equal. A trapezium is not a parallelogram because only one pair of sides are parallel.

A trapezium has 4 right angles...Correction: it has 4 angles but they are not right angles. A structure/shape with 4 right angles is a rectangle or square.
What shape has 4 vertices?
a triangle-based pyramid
How many syllables does trapezium have?
The word trapezium contains four syllables.
How does a trapezium look like?
A trapezium is a 4 sided quadrilateral with a pair of opposite parallel sides that have different lengths
Two parallel sides of the trapezium are 10m and 22m whose non parallel sides are 13m and 14m find the area of trapezium?
200.106m2
