Do you know the converse of that?

I'm not sure

Does the question just want you to write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive? http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/topics/converse-inverse-contrapositive.html

theeric · Answer

From that link:
Statement:           If p, then q. 
Converse:            If q, then p. 
Inverse:               If not p, then not q. 
Contrapositive:    If not q, then not p.

yah, it asks for converse inverse and contrapositve, i just don't know how to word the answer so it looks right

theeric · Answer

Does that help at all? That's just information. If you're confused, I can try to help!! :)

"If a ray bisects an angle, it divides the angle into two congruent angles."

This can be seen as an "implication." That is, it can be a "If ___, then ___." The blanks are where statements go. So, what would be those statements?

theeric · Answer

It means, if ___ is true, then ___ is true. You can say, "If $p$, then $q$," to give names to the statements.

Just like a letter can be a number ($x=5)$, a letter can be a statement.
So what is $p$, and what is $q$?

theeric · Answer

(The "then" is not in your statement, but you see where it would be.)

anonymous · Answer

yah, so if i wrote for the converse: If a ray divides an angle into two congruent angles, then the ray bisects the angle, does it look right?

theeric · Answer

Yeah!! Looks good to me! :)

anonymous · Answer
