Question

Which of the following shapes has only 1 pair of parallel edges?

• A. Trapezoid
• B. Rhombus
• C. Rectangle
• D. Parallelogram

Answer 1

The correct option is A Trapezoid


Let’s observe all shapes one by one and determine the number of parallel edges they have.

$\text{Parallelogram:}$ It has 2 pairs of parallel edges. (AB | | CD and BC | | DA)

$\text{Trapezoid:}$ It has 1 pair of parallel edges. (AB | | CD)

$\text{Rhombus:}$ It has 2 pairs of parallel edges. (AB | | CD and BC | | DA)

$\text{Rectangle:}$ It has 2 pairs of parallel edges. (AB | | CD and BC | | DA)

This means that only the trapezoid has 1 pair of parallel edges.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
