True. All rectangles are trapezoids.

(In England a trapezoid is known as a trapezium.)

No. A trapezoid must have two parallel sides and two non-parallel sides. A rectangle must have two sets of two parallel sides and all angles of 90o. The two terms are mutually exclusive.

Are some trapezoids rectangles?

Oh, dude, like technically speaking, all rectangles are trapezoids, but not all trapezoids are rectangles. It's like saying all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. So, yeah, some trapezoids can be rectangles, but not all of them. It's like a geometry mind game, man.


How are trapezoids and rectangles same?

trapezoids and rectangles, are both quadrilateral (which means shapes with 4 sides). rectangles and trapezoids are also polygons.


Are all rectangles trapezoids?

NO rectangles are trapezoids


What DON'T rectangles and trapezoids have in common?

Trapezoids have only two sides parallel; rectangles have all four opposing sides parallel. Also, rectangles have 4 right angles, which is more than a trapezoid can have.


What 4 sided shapes have right angles in them?

Squares, rectangles, and some trapezoids.


What polygon has congruent diagonals?

Isosceles trapezoids, squares, and rectangles.


How are rectangles and trapezoids diffrent?

a trapezoid has one set of par


True or False some trapezoids are rectangles?

False


Why aren't all trapezoids rectangles?

Because they don't have right angles.


How diagonals are congruent?

If they are equally long such as the diagonals of rectangles and isosceles trapezoids.


Are trapezoids rectangles?

Trapezoids are never rectangles because, by definition a trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides, and at most one right angle. A rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides and four right angles.


Is a quadrilateral a trapezoid?

No, a quadrilateral isn't always a trapezoid. One way to consider it is that all trapezoids are quadrilaterals (four-sided shapes), but not all quadrilaterals are trapezoids. Some quadrilaterals are concave quadrilaterals, some are scalene convex quadrilaterals (called trapezoids in the UK), some would be trapezoids, and some would be parallelograms (rectangles, squares, rhomboids, rhombi). If parallelograms are considered a special case of trapezoids, then trapezoids would include all non-scalene convex quadrilaterals, which is a highly inclusive definition.
