Explain how this figure is a trapezium. Which of its two sides are parallel?

When a transversal line intersects two lines in such a way that the sum of the adjacent angles on the same side of transversal is 180° then the lines are parallel to each other. Here,

∠M + ∠L = 100° + 80° = 180°

Thus, MN || LK

As the quadrilateral KLMN has one pair of parallel line therefore it is a trapezium. MN and LK are parallel lines.
