if 'a', then 'b' : a-> b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct ?.. can i write teh same as, only if 'b', then 'a' ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you asking if you can reverse "if A, then B" to "if B, then A"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, the thing troubling me is "only if"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That doesn't sound right. "Only if" B still has many things that aren't A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually i dont get "if and only if", im trying to understand it by breaking it down to "if" and "only if"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

may i knw why it doesnt sound right to you, it does sound right to me

But... a square is a kind of a rectangle.
