Answer:

Kyle is correct, because it is not possible to draw a trapezoid that is a rectangle.

Explanation:

Trapezoid:

  • It is a quadrilateral with only one pair of of parallel sides
  • Also in Trapezoid all the four angles are not right angle
  • In Trapezoid is it not necessary that the diagonals bisect at all the cases
  • The opposite angles are supplementary

Rectangle:

  • Opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel and equal, thus having two pairs of parallel lines
  • In a Rectangles all the four angles are 90 degrees i.e, right angle
  • Diagonals of rectangles must bisect each other
  • The sum of any two angles is supplementary
