What is the inverse of the following statement? “If a shape has four sides, then it is not a triangle.” If a shape has four sides, then it is a triangle. If a shape is not a triangle, then it has four sides. If a shape does not have four sides, then it is a triangle. If a shape is a triangle, then it does not have four sides.

The inverse of "If P, then Q" is "If NOT P, then NOT Q"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So the inverse of “If a shape has four sides, then it is not a triangle.” is “If a shape does NOT have four sides, then it is a triangle.”

I got it wrong....:(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's ok, hopefully you see why it's the correct answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, crap, I counted the original statement as A when I shouldn't have counted it as anything. Whoops. If you're going to put multiple choice answers, could you label them in the future? Heh.

OpenStudy (sarahc):

Yeah now I do jim! :)
