Stuck on a geometry quiz would anyone like to help me out?
what is it? ill try to help you, i'm only in Algebra though. :)
I'll try to help as well.
What do these terms below mean???? What is a counterexample for the conjecture? What is the conclusion of the following conditional? Another name for an if-then statement is a ____. Every conditional has two parts. The part following if is the ____ . (1 point) Write this statement as a conditional in if-then form: Which conditional has the same truth value as its converse? When a conditional and its converse are true, you can combine them as a true ____. Write the two conditional statements that make up the following biconditional. I didnt post the muliple choice options because I dont want the answers i just need you to explain what all these terms mean. Like conditional and biconditional and so on
Woah, this isn't the geometry u studied. dahell is this??
@andriod09 this is geometry
Thats what im saying, it makes NO sense to me. Lesson 3: Biconditionals and Definitions Geometry Foundations A Unit 2: Reasoning and Proof<< thats my lesson though
So you learned what a Conditional Statement was then right?
@MathLegend im homeschooled, so something ik are different than what public school teaches.
Oh okay @andriod09
@BreannaRichele what does a Conditional statement consist of? Isn't it this: If I eat pizza, I will die. (Made this up as an example. However, notice it uses If and Then which is a if then statement.)
If I eat pizza, then I will die.
My school is online. But anyway no none of this makes snese i have no idea what any of those are. i guess i didnt read in my book enough or something
Yes, in Geometry you must read.
Another name for an if-then statement is a ____. (Conditional Statement)
Now we call if the hypothesis and the then the conclusion
I am starting to learn that. oooh so if then is the same as a conditio
Right.
Every conditional has two parts. The part following if is the ____. (What is the answer to this one? Based off what I said)
then?
Good or the conclusion. So if I were you I would put 'Then (a.k.a. Conclusion)'
Write this statement as a conditional in if-then form: (Was this one cut off? I don't see what it wants you to make into a conditional statement)
Write this statement as a conditional in if-then form: All triangles have three sides. (1 point)If a triangle has three sides, then all triangles have three sides. If a figure has three sides, then it is not a triangle. If a figure is a triangle, then all triangles have three sides. If a figure is a triangle, then it has three sides.
Keep it in the order they give it to you. So what do they talk about first triangles or sides?
Triangles so woulld it be A...or D..or are both wrong? :/
It is out of A or D. Which one?
Be nice and simple.
A>?
You should have chosen... If a figure is a triangle, then it has three sides.
You see how that is nice, short, and sweet just like the original statement?
yeah but isnt the first option short and sweet too? that doesnt make snese they are both saying the same thing i tohught.
If a triangle has three sides, then all triangles have three sides. (This is talking about the sides first. We want triangles first.)
Sorry its taking a while this site is making my typing lag a little not sure why. But anyway yeah now i get it what is a biconditional then?
When a Conditional or If-Then statement is true... and its Converse.... is true then it is a Biconditional
and also What is a counterexample for the conjecture? Conjecture: All balls are spheres. (1 point)a basketball a football a circle a baseball would that be football?
Conditional is: If p then q Converse is: If q then p
Which conditional has the same truth value as its converse? (Conditional)
When a conditional and its converse are true, you can combine them as a true ____. (Biconditional) Notice you combined so you got a Biconditional
Correct it would be a football.
okay what about this one Rewrite the following statement as a conditional statement: Apples grow on trees. (1 point)If it grows on a tree, it is an apple. If a fruit is an apple, then it grows on a tree. Apples are a fruit if and only if they grow on a tree. If it is not a fruit, then it is not an apple. would it be C or B?
And this one looks like chinese to me What is the conclusion of the following conditional? A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3. (1 point)The number is odd. The sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 3. If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3. The number is divisible by 3.
Well, a conditional statement is only If-Then... so it would be If a fruit is an apple, then it grows on a tree.
Biconditionals use 'if and only if'
The number is divisble by 3.
so if a biconditional is an if anf if then would this one be D? 14. Rewrite the following definition as a biconditional: Points that lie on the same line are collinear. (1 point)If a point lies on a line, then it is collinear. If a point lies on a line with another point, then the two points are collinear. If two points are collinear, then they lie on the same line. Points lie on the same line if and only if the points are collinear.
Yup.
yay. i dont understand this one either? Which conditional has the same truth value as its converse? (1 point)If x = 7, then |x| = 7. If a figure is a square, then it has four sides. If x – 17 = 4, then x = 21. If an angle has a measure of 80°, then it is acute. i thought it was a but i think im wrong
Yes, A is definitely wrong.
then i dont get it
It can't be 'A' since a rhombus has four sides and a Rhombus is not a square.
It looks like there are two correct answers. They both check out as correct.
oh I see... the answer is 'B'
you can only pick on though.......
oh ok why
It can not be 'C' because the converse would be: If it is acute then the angle has a measure of 80 degrees
When in fact it would have a measure of any number between 0 and 90
Got it?
oh okay. I think i will get a good grade on this test now. thanks so much i actually understand it.
@BreannaRichele what were the answers to this test?
