It is false.

The first part about the square is true, but the second part is false. A rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides.

The "and' means that both parts must be true for the statement to be true.

A convex polygon can have many pairs of parallel sides, but you can never have 3 or more sides all parallel to each other.
