Question
- which answer choice is a counterexample that proves the statement shown is false? \all quadrilaterals with four right angles have congruent sides.\
Step1: Analyze the properties of each shape
- A circle is not a quadrilateral.
- A square has four right angles and four congruent sides.
- A rhombus has four congruent sides but not necessarily right angles.
- A rectangle has four right angles but not necessarily four congruent sides.
Step2: Determine the counter - example
The statement is “All quadrilaterals with four right angles have congruent sides”. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles, but its adjacent sides are not necessarily congruent (e.g., a rectangle with length \(l = 5\) and width \(w=3\)).
