all puppies are cute. how can i write this as a conditional?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If an animal is a puppy, then the animal is cute

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Notice how it's in the IF..., THEN... form

OpenStudy (yusmin):

then what will be thr contrapositive for this example?>>> if a figure is a square then it has at least 2 right angles

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Original Conditional: If P then Q Contrapositive: If not Q, then not P

OpenStudy (yusmin):

so will it be if it has at least 2 angle then the figure is a square?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you negate both though

OpenStudy (yusmin):

?

OpenStudy (yusmin):

i wont have neither

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it should be if it does NOT have at least 2 right angles, then the figure is NOT a square

OpenStudy (yusmin):

oh i did it backwards

OpenStudy (yusmin):

so for the inverse i would put if it has at least 2 angle then the figure is a square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't that inductive logic?

OpenStudy (yusmin):

i dont know lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Original: If P then Q Inverse: If not P, then not Q

OpenStudy (yusmin):

kk:)
