Yes the difference is a trapezium only has one pair of parallel sides and a rectangle has 2 pairs but who knows another one?

Rhombuses always have 4 equal sides, trapezoids do not.
No, trapezoids are not rectangles. While both shapes have four sides, rectangles have opposite sides that are equal in length and all interior angles are right angles, whereas trapezoids have only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.
Rectangles have two pairs of parallel sides and four right angles. Trapezoids don't.
The main difference between squares and trapezoids is that, while the length all four sides of a square are equal, trapezoids have two sides with equal length and two sides of different length. Also, the opposite pairs of sides in a square are parallel, while only one pair of sides in a trapezoid is parallel.
Squares have four sides of equal length. In rectangles, the opposite sides are equal to one another. In both shapes, the internal angles are all 90°.
