My 3 kids and I all enjoyed this. Thanks for making it fun!

But at that point, it's parallel, so in your world, what defines a trapezoid? certainly not all parallel... right?

Trapezoid = At least one pair of opposite sides parallel

Interesting, but not only controversial, also incomplete. Don't forget the kite! Kite should be same level as the trapezoid. Underneath the the kite is the rhombus. ie, rhombus is not only a special type of trapezium, it's also a kite. This means completely redrawing the relationships I'm afraid.

Well done!! Interactive and fun.

Somewhere between you and khanacademy, would be the perfect teacher. Do you know the arguments as to why a parallelogram shouldn't be considered a trapezoid?

The rationale for not considering a parallelogram a trapezoid is that the definition for a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. As in EXACTLY one pair, not AT LEAST one pair. Parallelograms have two pairs of parallel sides, and therefore don't meet those requirements. It's like when classifying triangles: an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides. According to the rationale in this video, an equilateral triangle would also have to be an isosceles triangle because it too has two congruent sides; the fact that the third side is also congruent doesn't mean that the first two sides stop being congruent. But the definition of an isosceles triangle isn't two OR MORE congruent sides, it's two congruent sides.Three is not two, so equilateral triangles are not a subset of isosceles triangles. Back to the quadrilaterals: trapezoids have one pair of parallel sides, not one OR MORE pairs of parallel sides. One and only one. So parallelograms, which have two pairs of parallel sides are not actually a subset of trapezoids. Hope that explanation of the logic behind the great trapezoid-parallelogram schism helps :)

Johari Malik So why does the definition state that a trapezoid can only have one pair of opposite sides? Almost every theorem about trapezoids also applies to parallelograms. And I don't think the definition of a trapezoid is universally agreed upon, just like how there is no universal agreement on what a natural number or whole number is.

***** I was explaining this particular line of logic, whereby one pair means exactly one pair, not endorsing one view over the other. I understand that this isn't a universally agreed upon thing, especially when it comes to quadrilaterals.

+anticorncob6 Right, it's not universally agreed upon. But your question that I responded to asked for the arguments for why a parallelogram wouldn't be considered a trapezoid. That's what I addressed.

Isn't the definition of trapezoid 1 pair of parallel sides, because parallelograms are 2 pair of parallel sides

What about triangles? Isosceles triangle means two sides are equal. Equilateral triangle means all three sides are equal. All equilateral triangles are isosceles. Scalene triangle means no sides are equal. We could use your logic with the trapezoids and parallelograms to say that all triangles are scalene.

@dav87x

You could actually. You don't ever use scalene triangles outside of classification if you think about it, you use a "general triangle".

Wait a minute rhombus have equal sides but it doesn't have equal angles and square have equal sides and equal angles than how could they be same in your world 🙄
