Answer:

The given statement is FALSE.

Explanation:

Some trapezoids are rectangles - This is false.

This is false because a trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides whereas a quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides is called a parallelogram.

And a parallelogram with right angles is called a rectangle.

So, a trapezoid cannot be a rectangle.

Hey there! :)

The answer is false.

Trapezoids have ONLY 1 pair of parallel sides.

Rectangles have 2 pairs of parallel sides

Hope this helps :)
