From both theoretical and applied perspectives, the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are widely relevant fuzzy sets. In this paper, we show that the four kinds of common metrics—the supremum metric, the Lp-type dp metrics, the sendograph metric, and the endograph metric—are equivalent on the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. In fact, we obtain a stronger result: the convergence induced by these four kinds of metrics on the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers is equivalent to the convergence of the corresponding representation quadruples of the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers in R4. The latter convergence is very easy to verify. Our results give a fundamental understanding of these four kinds of common metrics on the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and provide a quick judgment condition for the convergence induced by them.
