In North America (U.S.A. and Canada) this is called a trapezoid.
In Britain and other English speaking countries, it is called a trapezium.
Explanation:
This quadrilateral has exactly one pair of parallel sides and is otherwise irregular.
The North American term for such a quadrilateral is trapezoid. Other English speaking countries call it a trapezium.
Unfortunately and confusingly, trapezium means irregular quadrilateral in the U.S.A.
graph{(((x+3/4y-7/2)/(1/2+3/4y))^50+(y-1)^50-1) = 0 [-4.54, 5.46, -2, 3]}
