They both have four straight sides, and at least one of the sides is a different length from the other three (in a rectangle, opposite sides are the same length, and has for right-angled corners. In a regular trapezoid, the bottom side is usually the longest, the two angled sides are the same length, and the top might be the same length as the sides, longer, or shorter. as long as it isn't the same as the first (bottom) side).

Is a trapezoid and a rectangle a polygon?
A trapezoid and a rectangle are both polygons.
Is every trapezoid a rectangle?
No, every trapezoid is not a rectangle. There is no overlap between rectangles and trapezoids -- that is, no trapezoid is a rectangle. They are both four-sided quadrilaterals
Which formula for the area of a parallogram is similar to a rectangle circle triangle ellipse or trapezoid?
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
Is every rhombus a parallelogram rectangle square or trapezoid?
'A square is a type of rectangle, a rectangle is a type of paralellogram, a paralellogram is a type of trapezoid, a trapezoid is a type of quadrilateral.
Is a rectangle always a trapezoid?
A rectangle is never a trapezoid because a rectangle does not have exactly 1 pair of parallel sides
How are the polygons in rectangle and trapezoid similar how are they different?
Well i don't know
Is a trapezoid and a rectangle a polygon?
A trapezoid and a rectangle are both polygons.
Is a square and rectangle similar to a trapiziod?
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.

Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
Is every trapezoid a rectangle?
No, every trapezoid is not a rectangle. There is no overlap between rectangles and trapezoids -- that is, no trapezoid is a rectangle. They are both four-sided quadrilaterals
How are trapezoid and rectangle not alike?
A rectangle has four ninety degree angles, where as a trapezoid does not.
Why cant a rectangle be a trapezoid?
A rectangle has four right angles; a trapezoid doesn't.
Is a rectangle a trapazoid?
No, a rectangle is not a trapezoid.
Is every rhombus a parallelogram rectangle square or trapezoid?
'A square is a type of rectangle, a rectangle is a type of paralellogram, a paralellogram is a type of trapezoid, a trapezoid is a type of quadrilateral.
Is a rectangle always a trapezoid?
A rectangle is never a trapezoid because a rectangle does not have exactly 1 pair of parallel sides
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.
