Sure they are. They fulfill all the requirements of a trapezoid. To be precise, it depends how exactly you choose to define a trapezoid. If you define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral which has AT LEAST one pair of parallel sides, then that applies to rectangles as well. If you want it to have EXACTLY one pair of parallel sides, then a rectangle is not a trapezoid, since it has two pairs of parallel sides.
