Answer:

True

Explanation:

A quadrilateral is any shape with four sides. A trapezoid does have four sides, and therefore is a quadrilateral. The difference between a trapezoid and a "regular quadrilateral" is a trapezoid only has one pair of parallel sides, why a quadrilateral like a square or rectangle has two pairs.
