Question

how can the statement be rewritten as a conditional statement in if-then form?
a rectangle with 4 congruent sides is a square.
○ if a rectangle has 4 congruent sides, then it is a square.
○ if a figure has 4 congruent sides, then it is a square.
○ if a figure has 4 congruent sides, then it is a rectangle or square.
○ if a figure is a rectangle, then it is a square.

Explanation:

The original statement specifies the subject is a rectangle with 4 congruent sides, leading to it being a square. The correct conditional retains the "rectangle with 4 congruent sides" as the hypothesis (if-clause) and "is a square" as the conclusion (then-clause). Other options either overgeneralize the subject to "a figure" incorrectly or make false logical connections.

Answer:

A. If a rectangle has 4 congruent sides, then it is a square.
