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.

Is it true or false that some trapezoids are squares?
false
Is a quadrilateral a trapezoid?
No, a quadrilateral isn't always a trapezoid. One way to consider it is that all trapezoids are quadrilaterals (four-sided shapes), but not all quadrilaterals are trapezoids. Some quadrilaterals are concave quadrilaterals, some are scalene convex quadrilaterals (called trapezoids in the UK), some would be trapezoids, and some would be parallelograms (rectangles, squares, rhomboids, rhombi). If parallelograms are considered a special case of trapezoids, then trapezoids would include all non-scalene convex quadrilaterals, which is a highly inclusive definition.
Are all trapezoids parallelograms?
No trapezoids are parallelograms, and no parallelograms are trapezoids.
Names of quadrilaterals?
There are many different quadrilaterals such as squares, trapezoids, rectangles, rhombus and parallelogram.
Are all parallelograms trapezoids?
No trapezoids are parallelograms, and no parallelograms are trapezoids.
Are some trapeszoids squares?
trapezoids are trapezoids and squares are squares but all are quadrilaterals.
Are all square are trapezoids?
yes
Do all parallelograms squares and trapezoids have 4 angles?
yes
What quadrilaterals are not trapezoids?
squares and rectangles
Can All quadrilaterals can be classified as either parallelograms or trapezoids?
No because all quadrilaterals are 4 sided shapes which includes parallelograms, trapezoids, squares, rectangles, kites......etc
Are all shapes with 4 sides the same shape?
No, there are squares, rectangles,trapezoids etc.
Is it true or false that some trapezoids are squares?
false
What has parallel sides?
Parallelograms, squares, trapezoids and rectangles
How are squares rectangles parallelogram and trapezoids are different?
they are not congruent
Do some trapezoids have 4 right angles?
Yes. Those trapezoids with four right angles are called squares. Since in order to be a trapezoids, a shape must be a quadrilateral with with one set of parallel lines, and a square fits those requirements. In conclusion, the trapezoids that have four right angles are squares.
What polygon has congruent diagonals?
Isosceles trapezoids, squares, and rectangles.
What quadrilateral has four angles?
All quadrilaterals have four angles including: squares rectangles rhombus trapezoids parallelograms
