Can anyone tell me if B is the correct answer? Which of the following is true about the conditional statement below? "If an angle is a right angle, then it has a measure of 90°." I The converse is true. II The statement can be written as a true biconditional. III The statement is false. A. I only B. I and II only C. II and III only D. III only

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it must be A.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Take converse of given statement and see if its true ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If an angle has a measure of 90°, then it is a right angle. It is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u do know what it means by biconditional right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Good :) So, both the actual statement, and converse are true, eh ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, they are true

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

So, Biconditional has to be ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a biconditional statement is a statement that contains the phrase 'if and only if'

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats right, also what it tells is this :- the conditional works in both directions.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

A biconditional always exists, when the converse and actual statement has same truth values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so answer's b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the correct answer is B?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sorry my system is behaving lil crazy today

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
