Answer 3

To form the contrapositive of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion of the inverse statement. ( If not q, then not p.)

The original statement is If p, then q.

If a polygon has six sides (p), then it is called a hexagon (q).

The answer is A. If a polygon is not called a hexagon, then it does not have six sides.
