A square is a figure with 4 congruent sides.

This is telling us that a figure with 4 congruent sides is a square. So we need to find other figures with 4 congruent sides that are not squares.

Since you are given choices you are looking for the choice that gives a figure with 4 congruent sides that is not a square. The correct choice is "A 6-sided figure can have 4 congruent sides"
