Can rectangle be a trapezoid?

It depends on whether you consider rectangles and other parallelograms to be forms of trapezoids.If a rectangle can be considered a special case of a trapezoid (UK trapezium), and an isosceles trapezoid is modified so that any of its angles is 90 degrees, then it is a rectangle. In other words, it becomes a trapezoid with all right angles.However, you can also consider that trapezoids and parallelograms are two different kinds of quadrilaterals: trapezoids having one set of parallel sides and parallelograms having two sets. Then a trapezoid can never be a rectangle, or it would just be called a rectangle.
