What is another word for trapezoid?

There isn't one single perfect synonym for "trapezoid". It depends on what aspect you want to emphasize. Here are a few options with different focuses:

General:

* Quadrilateral: This is the most general term, simply meaning a four-sided figure. It doesn't specify any specific properties.

* Trapezium: This is a more common term in British English, but it can also mean a quadrilateral with no parallel sides in some contexts.

Focusing on parallel sides:

* Trapezium (British English): This term often implies the existence of one pair of parallel sides.

Focusing on specific types:

* Right Trapezoid: This term is used when at least one of the non-parallel sides is perpendicular to the parallel sides.

The best choice will depend on the context and the specific properties you want to emphasize.
