How are a rectangle and a trapezoid alike?

A rectangle and a trapezoid are alike in that:both are polygonsboth have four sides (that is, both are quadrilaterals)both have four anglesboth have interior angles whose sum is 360°both have exterior angles whose sum is 360°both have at least one pair of parallel sidesthe area of each is (1/2 of the height) times (the sum of the bases)both can tesselateBy definition, a rectangle is NOT a trapezoid since a trapezoid can have ONLY one set of parallel sides and a rectangle always has two.

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.


How is a trapezoid different to a rectangle?
