The statement is False. A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides, while a square is a special type of quadrilateral that has four equal sides and four right angles.
To clarify further, all squares are technically trapezoids because they have two pairs of parallel sides, but not all trapezoids are squares. A trapezoid can have unequal side lengths and angles, making it distinct from the characteristics of a square.
