Oh, dude, like technically speaking, all rectangles are trapezoids, but not all trapezoids are rectangles. It's like saying all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. So, yeah, some trapezoids can be rectangles, but not all of them. It's like a geometry mind game, man.

True or False some trapezoids are rectangles?
False
Are trapezoids rectangles?
Trapezoids are never rectangles because, by definition a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, and at most one right angle. A rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides and four right angles.
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.
Names of quadrilaterals?
There are many different quadrilaterals such as squares, trapezoids, rectangles, rhombus and parallelogram.
What is a trapezoidal prism?
It is a 3-d prism with 2 trapezoids and 4 rectangles.(6 faces)
