Sagot :

Answer:

Raden is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral is any polygon that has four sides and four angles.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. The opposite sides and angles of a parallelogram are equal. Also, the diagonals are equal to each other and bisect each other.

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with atleast a pair of parallel sides. It has no perpendicular sides or right angles.

Raden is correct because a trapezoid is a quadrilateral since it has four sides. Amanda is not correct because for a trapezoid to be a parallelogram it must have two pairs of parallel sides and not just a single pair of parallel side.
