OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kohai):

Switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement and negating both. For example, the contrapositive of "If it is raining then the grass is wet" is "If the grass is not wet then it is not raining."

OpenStudy (kohai):

So if a polygon has six sides it's a hexagon

OpenStudy (kohai):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

polygon does not have six sides, then it is not called a hexagon.

OpenStudy (kohai):

Right! So if it doesn't have six sides, it's NOT a hexagon. That's all there is to it :)
