The simplest way to understand 岂不是 is to think of it as "isn't it"， and it is always used in a rhetorical question.
Structure
Just insert 岂不是 where you feel that "could it be that" or "isnt it." 岂不是 is usually used to start a new sentence or a clause. Since it is a rhetorical question, the speaker already knows the answer.
岂不是 + rhetorical question
Examples
- 如果 他 要 来， 岂不是 一 件 好 事？
- 这 张 照片 的 帅哥，岂不是 有 一 点儿 像 我？
- 越来越多 的 人 加入 环保， 岂不是 说明 了 保护 环境 很 重要？
