Which quadrilateral has exactly one pair of opposite sides parallel?
AA rhombus
BA rectangle
CA pentagon
DA trapezium
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A trapezium
1. A quadrilateral is a closed shape made of four straight line segments.
2. A trapezium is a quadrilateral with one pair of opposite sides parallel.
3. A rhombus and a rectangle are both parallelograms, so each has two such pairs.
4. A pentagon has five sides, so it is not a quadrilateral at all.
