A rectangle has four right angles, two parallel pairs of line segments, and the lines are perpendicular. A trapezoid has one pair of parallel angles, and the angles do not have to be right, although a trapezoid with a right angle is called a right angle trapezoid, and a trapezoid with no parallel segments is a trapezium.

Because a rectangle has two pairs of opposite equal parallel sides whereas a trapezoid only has one pair of opposite parallel sides of different lengths
