A rectangle must have two (2) pairs of parallel sides, a trapezoid only needs one (1).
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles, and a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with 1 pair of opposite parallel sides.

∙ 14y agoThere are many differences. Some are given below, more can be derived from them. (a) All four angles of a rectangle are 90 degrees. A trapezoid need not have any. (b) A rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides, a trapezoid only one. (c) A rectangle has two pairs of sides of equal length, a trapezoid need not have any. (d) The diagonals of a rectangle bisect on another, not true for a trapezoid.

Is every trapezoid a rectangle?
No, every trapezoid is not a rectangle. There is no overlap between rectangles and trapezoids -- that is, no trapezoid is a rectangle. They are both four-sided quadrilaterals

What is the difference between a trapezoid and a rectangle?
the difference is that a rectangle has 4 sides with 2 pairs of parralell sides that are oposite to each other and a trapozoid has 4 sides but it only has 1 pair of parralell sie that's opposite to each othera trapezoid only has 1 pair of parallel lines while a rectangle has 2 pairs as well as having 4 right angles where a trapezoid will have no more then 2 at most
