if a rectangle isnt a square, then it doesnt have four congruent sides.
if a rectangle is a square, then it has four congruent sides.
if a rectangle doesnt have four congruent sides, then it isnt a square.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The inverse of a conditional statement "If P, then Q" is "If not P, then not Q". For the given statement "If a rectangle has four congruent sides (P), then it is a square (Q)", the inverse negates both P and Q: "If a rectangle doesn't have four congruent sides (not P), then it isn't a square (not Q)".

Answer:

If a rectangle doesn't have four congruent sides, then it isn't a square.
