Geometry help , please? @IMStuck @sweetsunray

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Hello dear! What's up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aloha Beautiful :)

OpenStudy (imstuck):

I believe it's the second choice down. Let me have another look-see at it, though, Ok?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

No it's the third one down, definitely. Statement 1 is a converse cuz it switches the hypothesis with the conclusion, and statement 3 is a contrapositive cuz it negates both the hypothesis and the conclusion and then switches them.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Did you get that, @lilia222 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@IMStuck Yes ma'mm :D so you get this question and explained it has to be "B"? @IMStuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know what, this'll make it easier. In an (if, then) statement the (if) is called a hypothesis and the (then) forms a conclusion. In your problem "(If) it's a Garage Sale, (then) it's a Sunday", the Hypothesis is "If it's a Garage Sale" and the Conclusion is "then it's a Sunday". If we switch the (If) and the (then) we form the converse. "If it's a Sunday, then it's a Garage Sale". Statement one says this! So we are left with options C and D for our answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does that make sense, or am I going to deeply into it...?

@IMStuck said, and I quote "No it's the third one down, definitely. Statement 1 is a converse cuz it switches the hypothesis with the conclusion, and statement 3 is a contrapositive cuz it negates both the hypothesis and the conclusion and then switches them". I said, it is option C or D by my explanation.
