Understanding Trapezoids and Their Properties

The video tutorial discusses trapezoids, focusing on the definition that a trapezoid has at least one pair of parallel sides. It provides examples of shapes to determine if they are trapezoids, including traditional and non-traditional forms. The tutorial also clarifies that shapes like squares and parallelograms can be considered trapezoids under this definition. It concludes with a reminder that a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.
