True. Rectangles are indeed trapezoids. Here’s why:
A trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. Rectangles have two pairs of parallel sides, which means they meet the criteria for being a trapezoid. In fact, rectangles are a specific type of trapezoid where all angles are right angles, and both pairs of opposite sides are equal in length.
So, while all rectangles are trapezoids, not all trapezoids are rectangles. This is because trapezoids can have sides of varying lengths and angles that are not necessarily 90 degrees.
