what is a conterpositive statement.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Contrapositive is the inverse and converse combined. The inverse of that statement would be 'If two lines do not intersect to form a right angle, then they are not perpendicular' The converse of that statement would be 'If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect to form a right angle.' Soo, the contrapositive would be If two lines are not perpendicular, then they do not intersect to form a right angle.'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The contrapositive of a statement \(A⟹B \) is \(¬B⟹¬A\). The contrapositive of a true statement is always true.
