Best Answer

The more common definition of a trapezoid (or trapezium, outside of North America) is a four-sided figure with exactly one pair of parallel sides. By this definition, figures with two sets of parallel sides such as a rectangle are nottrapezoids.

Some mathematicians use a more general definition that allows for one or more pair of parallel sides. By this definition, a rectangle, square, or rhombus would be considered as special cases of a trapezoid.
