Counterexample

A counterexample is an example that shows a conjecture is false. For example, consider a conjecture stating that all shapes with four congruent sides are squares. A counterexample for this conjecture is a rhombus.
Conjecture and its counterexample
Although a rhombus has four congruent sides, it is not a square because its angles are not right angles. Therefore, rhombuses are examples that disprove the conjecture.
