A square may or may not be a trapezoid, or trapezium. That's because there is a bit of a difference of opinion as to the definition of a trapezoid. One definition of the trapezoid is that is has one pair of parallel sides. The square meets this condition. Another definition of the trapezoid is that is has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The square cannot meet that definition because it has two pairs of parallel sides. Use the link below for more information on the trapezoid.

No, not all squares are trapezoids. A square is a special type of quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles, while a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. Since a square has all sides equal in length and no parallel sides, it does not fit the definition of a trapezoid.

Technically, yes, all squares are trapezoids because a square is a type of trapezoid with two parallel sides of equal length. But let's be real, squares are like the snobby, high-class cousins of trapezoids who think they're too good for the rest of the family. So yeah, squares may be trapezoids, but they definitely don't act like it.
