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).

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.

Can a trapezoid be a rectangle and why?

NO. A trapezoid cannot be a rectangle. If a parallelogram has one right angle then it is a rectangle. A trapezoid doesn't satisfy this condition because a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one parallel side which means that it doesn't have a right angle.
