Which polygon is this
Here is a transcription and detailed description suited for an educational website:

---

**Name each polygon.**

The image presents a simple geometric shape that appears to be a quadrilateral. This quadrilateral has four sides with the following characteristics:
- One pair of opposite sides is parallel, indicating it is a trapezoid.
- The other two sides are not parallel and are of different lengths.

When identifying polygons, ensure to count the number of sides and assess their angles and sides to determine the specific type of polygon.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram in the image is a trapezoid. It has:
- Four sides in total.
- Only one pair of these sides is parallel, which is the defining characteristic of a trapezoid.
  
This trapezoid can be classified further based on the lengths of its non-parallel sides or the angles between those sides. However, for elementary purposes, identifying it as a trapezoid based on its pair of parallel sides is sufficient.
