A) No rectangle with 4 equal sides is not a square.
B) Every square with 4 equal sides is not a square.
C)Every rectangle with 4 equal sides is not a square
D) No square with 4 equal sides is a rectangle.
Would the answer be C. as this is to write the negation of the statement?
B) Every square with 4 equal sides is not a square.
Yes, the correct answer would be C) "Every rectangle with 4 equal sides is not a square." To negate a statement, you typically add "not" to the main verb or predicate of the sentence. In this case, the original statement is "Every rectangle with 4 equal sides is a square," and by adding "not" to the verb "is," we get the negation "Every rectangle with 4 equal sides is not a square."
