Video Summary

In the given problem, the goal is to identify which shape cannot be divided into two trapezoids by a single straight line. A trapezoid is a four-sided shape with at least one pair of parallel sides. The process of elimination reveals that a square, regular hexagon, another trapezoid, and a rectangle can each be divided into two trapezoids. However, a triangle, which has only three sides and no parallel lines, cannot be divided into two trapezoids. Therefore, the triangle is the correct answer as it cannot be split into two trapezoids.
