To prove: that the statement is false and give a counter example
Answer to Problem 16WE
The given statement is false.
The counter example is below given diagram
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given statement is:
If a four-sided figure has four congruent sides, then it has four right
If a four-sided figure has four congruent sides, then it has four right angles.
Counter example:
Consider the diagram
This is a four-sided figure with four congruent sides
But there are no four right angles
Thus, our statement is false
A counter example is such an example which shows the given statement is false
Therefore, the above diagram is a counter example.
