Read the statement shown below. “If the sum of interior angles of a polygon is more than 180°, then the polygon is not a triangle.” The converse of the statement is If the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is not more than 180°, then the polygon is a triangle. If the polygon is a triangle, then the sum of the interior angles of the polygon is not more than 180°. If the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is equal to 180°, then the polygon is a triangle. If the polygon is not a triangle, then the sum of the interior angles of the polygon is more than 180°

"converse" reverses the order of the two parts of the original statement. So your statement is “If the sum of interior angles of a polygon is more than 180°, then the polygon is not a triangle.” The first part is the "sum of interior angles of polygon is more than 180" The second part is "the polygon is not a triangle". The converse swaps the first part and the second part...

If the polygon is a triangle, then the sum of the interior angles of the polygon is not more than 180°?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the polygon is not a triangle, then the sum of the interior angles of the polygon is more than 180°

I was gonna say that, darn!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you literally just start with "if" then put the 2nd part in, followed by "then, followed by the 1st part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just rearrange it... don't reword either part.

Okay, so it's D. Thank you so much :)

Looks good to me... here's a quick reference for the converse, inverse, etc... http://www.jimloy.com/logic/converse.htm
