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.

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
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 is a trapezoid different to a rectangle?
a trapezoid has 1 pair of parallel lines and a rectangle has 2 parallel lines
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
Why cant a rectangle be a trapezoid?
A rectangle has four right angles; a trapezoid doesn't.
How are trapezoid and rectangle not alike?
A rectangle has four ninety degree angles, where as a trapezoid does not.
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
Is a trapazoid a rectangle?
is a trapezoid a rectangle
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.
How is a trapezoid different to a rectangle?
a trapezoid has 1 pair of parallel lines and a rectangle has 2 parallel lines
Is a trapezoid always never or sometimes a rectangle?
A trapezoid is never a rectangle but they are both 4 sided quadrilaterals
Is a trapezoid the same as a rectangle?
No, it is not.
