Question

a statement is shown. if a polygon has four congruent sides and four right angles, then it is a square. which is the contrapositive of the statement? if a polygon is a square, then it has four congruent sides and four right angles. if a polygon is a not a square, then it has four congruent sides and four right angles. if a polygon is a not a square, then it does not have four congruent sides and four right angles. if a polygon has does not have four congruent sides and four right angles, then it is not a square.

Explanation:

The contrapositive of a conditional statement "if p then q" is "if not q then not p". Here, p is "a polygon has four congruent sides and four right - angles" and q is "it is a square". So the contrapositive is formed by negating both p and q and reversing them.

Answer:

If a polygon does not have four congruent sides and four right angles, then it is not a square.
