Answer:

"If the shape is not a rectangle, then the shape doesn't has four sides."

Explanation:

Given conditional statement is,

" Is a shape has four sides, then the shape is a rectangle."

Here we have two statements:

Statement p → A shape has four sides

Statement q → The shape is a rectangle.

Contrapositive of the statement will be:

If
\sim q then
\sim p.

Therefore, contrapositive will be,

"If the shape is not a rectangle, then the shape doesn't has four sides."
