Step-by-step solution for: Elementary TRAPEZOID Shape Worksheets
Let’s go step by step to find which items are trapezoid shaped.
First, what is a trapezoid?
A trapezoid is a 4-sided shape (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides. In most school worksheets like this, they mean the kind that looks like a table or a lampshade — wider at the bottom and narrower at the top (or vice versa), with two straight sides slanting in or out.
Now let’s look at each item:
1. Pizza – round → not a trapezoid
2. Lampshade – yes! It has a top and bottom that are parallel, and sides that slope → trapezoid
3. Eraser – rectangular prism, but from the side it’s a rectangle → not a trapezoid (unless viewed diagonally, but we’re looking at front view) → no
4. Popcorn bucket – usually tapered, so if you look at the front, it’s wider at the top and narrower at the bottom → that’s a trapezoid!
5. Mirror – oval/rounded frame → not a trapezoid
6. Handbag – often has a curved top and straight bottom, but the sides may slope → if it’s drawn with straight sloping sides and parallel top/bottom, then YES → trapezoid
7. Window with curtains – the window itself is rectangular, curtains hang down → overall shape isn’t a trapezoid → no
8. Table – the tabletop might be rectangular, but if it’s drawn as a simple flat top with legs, the main body isn’t a trapezoid → unless the top is shown as a trapezoid… wait, in this drawing, the table top is a flat rectangle seen from front → actually, no, it’s more like a rectangle with legs → not a trapezoid
Wait — let me double-check the table. If it’s drawn as a flat surface with four legs, the top is a rectangle. But sometimes tables are drawn with a trapezoidal top for perspective. Looking again — in this worksheet, the table is drawn with a flat top that’s wider than the base? Actually, no — it’s just a rectangle on legs. So probably NOT a trapezoid.
But hold on — let’s re-examine the handbag. The handbag in the image has a curved top handle, but the body is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with straight sloping sides → that fits a trapezoid.
Also, the popcorn bucket: definitely wider at the top, narrower at the bottom, straight sides → trapezoid.
Lampshade: same thing → trapezoid.
What about the basket? Last row, right side — it’s woven, but the shape is wider at the top, narrower at the bottom, with straight sides → that’s also a trapezoid!
Wait — I missed that earlier. Let’s list all 9 items clearly:
Row 1:
- Pizza → circle → ✘
- Lampshade → trapezoid → ✔
- Eraser → rectangle → ✘
Row 2:
- Popcorn bucket → trapezoid → ✔
- Mirror → oval → ✘
- Handbag → trapezoid (body part) → ✔
Row 3:
- Window → rectangle + curtains → ✘
- Table → rectangle top + legs → ✘ (unless the top is drawn as trapezoid — but in standard interpretation, it’s not)
- Basket → wider top, narrower bottom, straight sides → trapezoid → ✔
So that’s 4 items: lampshade, popcorn bucket, handbag, basket.
Wait — let me confirm the handbag. Some handbags have curved sides, but in this drawing, it’s clearly drawn with straight sloping sides and parallel top and bottom edges → yes, trapezoid.
And the basket — same thing.
Is the table a trapezoid? If you look at the tabletop from the front, it’s a rectangle. The legs don’t make the whole thing a trapezoid. So no.
Final count: 4 items.
But let me check once more — maybe the eraser? No, it’s a rectangular prism, front view is rectangle.
Pizza? Circle.
Mirror? Oval.
Window? Rectangle.
Table? Rectangle top.
So only: lampshade, popcorn bucket, handbag, basket.
That’s 4.
But wait — in some definitions, a trapezoid must have exactly one pair of parallel sides. But in many schools, especially elementary, they accept any quadrilateral with at least one pair. And all these shapes have two parallel sides (top and bottom).
Yes.
So final answer: color the lampshade, popcorn bucket, handbag, and basket.

Final Answer:
Color the following items: the lampshade, the popcorn bucket, the handbag, and the basket.
First, what is a trapezoid?
A trapezoid is a 4-sided shape (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides. In most school worksheets like this, they mean the kind that looks like a table or a lampshade — wider at the bottom and narrower at the top (or vice versa), with two straight sides slanting in or out.
Now let’s look at each item:
1. Pizza – round → not a trapezoid
2. Lampshade – yes! It has a top and bottom that are parallel, and sides that slope → trapezoid
3. Eraser – rectangular prism, but from the side it’s a rectangle → not a trapezoid (unless viewed diagonally, but we’re looking at front view) → no
4. Popcorn bucket – usually tapered, so if you look at the front, it’s wider at the top and narrower at the bottom → that’s a trapezoid!
5. Mirror – oval/rounded frame → not a trapezoid
6. Handbag – often has a curved top and straight bottom, but the sides may slope → if it’s drawn with straight sloping sides and parallel top/bottom, then YES → trapezoid
7. Window with curtains – the window itself is rectangular, curtains hang down → overall shape isn’t a trapezoid → no
8. Table – the tabletop might be rectangular, but if it’s drawn as a simple flat top with legs, the main body isn’t a trapezoid → unless the top is shown as a trapezoid… wait, in this drawing, the table top is a flat rectangle seen from front → actually, no, it’s more like a rectangle with legs → not a trapezoid
Wait — let me double-check the table. If it’s drawn as a flat surface with four legs, the top is a rectangle. But sometimes tables are drawn with a trapezoidal top for perspective. Looking again — in this worksheet, the table is drawn with a flat top that’s wider than the base? Actually, no — it’s just a rectangle on legs. So probably NOT a trapezoid.
But hold on — let’s re-examine the handbag. The handbag in the image has a curved top handle, but the body is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with straight sloping sides → that fits a trapezoid.

So that’s 4 items: lampshade, popcorn bucket, handbag, basket.
Wait — let me confirm the handbag. Some handbags have curved sides, but in this drawing, it’s clearly drawn with straight sloping sides and parallel top and bottom edges → yes, trapezoid.
And the basket — same thing.
Is the table a trapezoid? If you look at the tabletop from the front, it’s a rectangle. The legs don’t make the whole thing a trapezoid. So no.
Final count: 4 items.
But let me check once more — maybe the eraser? No, it’s a rectangular prism, front view is rectangle.
Pizza? Circle.
Mirror? Oval.
Window? Rectangle.
Table? Rectangle top.
So only: lampshade, popcorn bucket, handbag, basket.
That’s 4.
But wait — in some definitions, a trapezoid must have exactly one pair of parallel sides. But in many schools, especially elementary, they accept any quadrilateral with at least one pair. And all these shapes have two parallel sides (top and bottom).
Yes.
So final answer: color the lampshade, popcorn bucket, handbag, and basket.

Final Answer:
Color the following items: the lampshade, the popcorn bucket, the handbag, and the basket.
