Only if they both have the same ratio of length to width.
Since every square has the same ratio of length to width ( it's 1 ),
all squares are similar.
Gee, when you think about it, every regular polygon is similar to every other
regular polygon with the same number of sides. I never realized that.

no some rectangles cannot be similar. a rectangle is a shape with 2 = sides and then 2 more different = sides. it is impossible because if 2 rectangles were similar than that would not be a rectangle. similar means having corresponding sides no it is not possible
how are trapezoids and rectangles
They are all rectangles (or 2 squares and 4 rectangles).They are all rectangles (or 2 squares and 4 rectangles).They are all rectangles (or 2 squares and 4 rectangles).They are all rectangles (or 2 squares and 4 rectangles).
Every rectangle is similar in that they both have 4 sides, they both have 4 angles, and they both have 2 sides equalling one length and the other 2 sides equalling a shorter length. Every two rectangles are similar in a way but they are not all exactly the same.
All rectangles which have sides in the ratio 10:15 would be similar. This would include 2 x 3, 4 x 6, 100 x 150, etc. Note that similarity in rectangles is very simple, since all interior angles are by definition right angles.
