let me think

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm seems to be both clauses are false for one a trapezoid is not a parallelogram and a square is not a rhombus either so I'd assume a statement with two false clauses as well

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so I'd assume a statement with two false clauses as well would be the answer that is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure, I'm stuck too.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well the two clauses that look false to me would be "if a square is a rhombus" well a square is not a rhombs "then a hexagon has five sides" well, a hexagon has HEXA = 6 sides

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm actually.....a rhombus can be a square.... since the only requirement is that all sides be equal :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

chose*

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ok... .so.... the inital clauses are .... one false and one true so because , a trapezoid is by definition NOT a parallelogram, so that's false but a rhombus can be a square so let us find a false and true clauses hmmm I gather I'd go with "if a square is a polygon" true "then a quadrilateral does not have four sides" false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jdoe0001 I was thinking that option 2, I think that would be the best choice!

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

eheheh

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well.... let us read it differently instead of "A trapezoid is a parallelogram if a square is not a rhombus" let us read it by its "positive" wording, not its "negative" one "if a square is a rhombus, then a trapezoid is not a parallelogram" true true or "if a square is a rhombus, then a hexagon does not have five sides" true true

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hehe :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
