help please 14. What is the conclusion of the statement “If a quadrilateral is a square, then it is also a parallelogram”?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

look, the part after "if" is the hypothesis. the part after "then" is the conclusion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be "It is also a parallellogram" right?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wht about this one it says converse? 15. What is the converse of the statement “If an angle is a right angle, then it measures 90 degrees”?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

the converse is just stitching the hypothesis and conclusion

OpenStudy (aripotta):

switching*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i write the whole thing but switch them?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yea, what do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is also a parrallelogram,if a quadrilateral is a square like that?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

wait, wasn't this our conditional statement? If an angle is a right angle, then it measures 90 degrees

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so if you switch "an angle is a right angle" and "it measures 90 degrees" what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

measures 90 degrees, an angle is a right angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*it

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you still need your if and then in the statement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok n are u in geometry too?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i'm almost done. i literally only have to do the final exam to be finished lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg ur homeschooled too! ? :D

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yup. so what'd you get for the answer?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i just wanna make sure you got it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

N If it measures 90 degrees, then an angle is a right angle

OpenStudy (aripotta):

that's right, but i would put "if an angle measures 90 degrees, than it is a right angle" that makes it more understandable i think

OpenStudy (aripotta):

they'd both be right, but i believe teachers want it written like what i posted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THATS TRUE UMMM HEY DID U UNDERSTAND THIS ONE? 18. If p: two lines intersect and q: they share a common point, write as a conditional statement.(Points : 3)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

If two lines intersect, then they share a common point

OpenStudy (aripotta):

conditional statements are written as "if p, then q"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO HOW DO YOU WRITE YOUR ANSWER LOL

OpenStudy (aripotta):

that was the answer lol. "If two lines intersect, then they share a common point"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WOW IM RERETARTED LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THE ONES YOU NEED TO WRITE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THERES LIKE 10

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i can try. post em in a different thread though

OpenStudy (aripotta):

a new thread

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK SO WAT ABOUT THIS ONE? 16. What is the contrapositive of the statement “If a polygon is a square, then it has four right angles.”(Points : 3)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

contrapositives are written as "if not q, then not p" what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IF A POLYGON IS NOT A SQUARE, THEN IT DOES NOT HAVE FOUR RIGHT ANGLES

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no, it's actually the other way around. "if a polygon does not have four right angles, then it is not a square"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK LOL

OpenStudy (aripotta):

conditional statement: "if p, then q" converse: "if q, then p" inverse: "if not p, then not q" contrapositive: "if not q, then not p" does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WAT ABOUT THIS ONE 17. If p: AB is a ray and q: A is the initial point, write (Points : 3)
