Question

Keegan knows that the statement “if a figure is a rectangle, then it is a square” is false, but he thinks the contrapositive is true. Is he correct? Explain.

Answer 1

Well, the contrapositive would be, "If a figure is not a square, it is not a rectangle.", which sounds true a little, but its actually false. A rectangle is not a square, but is a rectangle. So saying that if it isnt a square, it isnt a rectangle is false.

Answer 2

awesome explanation! :)
