They can have similar shape, similar size and even similar identity (say, wood) and still be of vastly different density. Consider a block of Balsa wood the size of the book "Gone with the Wind". Weigh it. Now consider a block of Sugar Maple or Hickory exactly the same size. Weigh it. It will be muchheavier than the Balsa. The difference is the density.

Similar polygons have congruent angles and the same shape (but not necessarily the same size). Since the shape of a square and a rectangle is different from the shape of a trapezoid, they are not similar to it.
