Can a triangular pyramid be called a rectangle pyramid?

No. A triangular pyramid describes a triangle whose base is a triangle (not just the sides which define it as a pyramid), whereas a rectangular pyramid is one whose base is a rectangle. A triangle and a rectangle are not the same (a triangle is not a rectangle, and a rectangle is not a triangle), so it would be incorrect to refer to a triangle-based pyramid as a rectangle pyramid.


Why is a rectangle a trapezoid?

A rectangle is not a trapezoid. A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides and another pair that is not parallel. That description cannot be applied to a rectangle. It is only if you define a trapezoid as a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides and say nothing at all about the other sides, can a rectangle be said to be a trapezoid. But you would have to be mathematically incompetent to use that as a definition of a trapezoid.

How do you define the perimeter of a rectangle?

The perimeter of a rectangle is length + width x 2 = perimeter. * * * * * That is misleading since that would be evaluated as L + W2 or L + 2W. The perimeter of any polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. A rectangle has two sides of the same length (L) and the other two of the same width (W). So the perimeter is 2*L + 2*W or 2*(L + W).
