Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the attached picture, it is possible for us to evidence that cis- isomers have the substituted groups on the same side of the double bond whereas the trans- isomers have the substituted groups on the opposite side of the double bond.

In such a way, we infer that the given statement is FALSE, because that is the definition for the trans configuration.

Regards!
