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?

Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion.

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

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):
