Quadrilaterals: Square, Rectangle, Parallelogram, Trapezoid, and Rhombus
Squares need all sides of equal length and all right angles. No
Squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. No, or not all at the very least.
Paralellograms can have sides of equal length, but then its also considered a rhombus. No
Trapezoids, by nature, must have one side that is shorter than the base. This is because the sides, if you were to extend them, must intersect. Therefore, the side opposite the base must be shorter because of the slanted sides, even if it is only minutely shorter.

Any quadrilateral CAN have four sides of unequal length. It's a question of how many sides of equal length MUST a quadrilateral have to be of a certain type.
