The converse:
“If a polygon has four sides, then it is a rectangle.”
Consider the given statement:
“If a polygon is a rectangle, then it has four sides.”
It is true that a rectangle has four sides and it is a polygon.

The above converse is wrong as it is not necessary for a four sided polygon to be a rectangle. It may be a square, a rhombus etc.
Hence, the statement is true but the converse is false.
