Use the conditional statement to answer the question.
If an angle is a right angle, then the angle measures 90°.
Are the statement and its contrapositive true?

The Contrapositive format is...
`If not q (conclusion), then not p (hypothesis).`
Now our hypothesis is `an angle is a right angle` and our conclusion is `the angle measures 90 degrees`...so lets place them in the contrapositive format...
`If an angle does not measure 90 degrees, then the angle is not a right angle`
Would you say that is true or not?
OpenStudy (devonhoward15):
its true
OpenStudy (devonhoward15):
