Question
Provide a counterexample to show that each statement is false. You may use words or a diagram.If a four-sided figure has four congruent sides, then it has four right angles.
Step 1
This means that all four-sided figures with equal sides must be squares, as squares are the only four-sided figures with both four congruent sides and four right angles. Show more…

Deductive Reasoning
If-Then Statements; Converses
Draw several diagrams to help you decide whether each statement is true or false. If it is false, show a counterexample. If it is true, draw and label a diagram you could use in a proof. List, in terms of the diagram, what is given and what is to be proved. Do not write a proof. If a triangle has two congruent angles, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent.
Parallel Lines and Planes
Inductive Reasoning
Determine whether each statement is true or false. Draw an example or counterexample for each. Two triangles with angles and sides congruent are congruent.
