Read the statement shown below. “If the alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.” What is the inverse of the statement? If the lines are parallel, then the alternate interior angles are congruent. If the lines are not parallel, then the alternate interior angles are not congruent. If the alternate interior angles are congruent, then two given lines have to be parallel. If the alternate interior angles are not congruent, then the lines are not parallel.

Please help!

If the alternate interior angles are nt congruent then the lines r nt parallel

~(P->Q) = ~P->~Q

If the lines are parallel, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

Well first find a word in the original statement that you know is 1) a math term, and 2) you know what an opposite to it is.

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

the question is asking for inverse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would it be if the lines are not parallel, then the alternate interior angles are not congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope its If the lines are parallel, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't that the Converse?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ya.. its If the lines are not parallel, then the alternate interior angles are not congruent.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes it is converse remember- you dont change the order of statements in inverse. only converse and contrapositive you change the order of statements. jitesh's answer is correct above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry my mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isnt the inverse of add is subtract @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ohh yesssss that inverse is also correct. here this inverse is in logic.. . proofs

Thank You everyone!
