Quadrilaterals which have one pair of parallel sides are called trapezoids. Sides that are parallel are called bases of a trapezoid, and ones that are not parallel are called legs. Trapezoids whose legs are of equal length are called isosceles trapezoids. Diagonals of a isosceles trapezoids are congruent.
The sides' length and number of pairs of parallel sides. See explanation. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides (called bases), while a rhombus must have two pairs of parallel sides (it is a special case of a parallelogram). The second difference is that the sides of a rhombus are all equal, while a trapezoid may have all 4 sides of a different length.
