Question

Find the Contrapositive of the statement:

"If two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent."
A) If they are congruent, then two angles are vertical angles.
B) If two angles are NOT vertical angles, then they are NOT congruent.
C) If two angles are NOT congruent, then they are NOT vertical angles.
D) If two are angles are NOT congruent, then they are vertical angles.

Answer 1

Well, what’s contrapositive?

Answer 2

Counterargument

Answer 3

oh nvm i remember this it's a pain

Answer 4

"switching the hypothesis and conclusion in a way that negates both"

Ugh ok that sounds scary

Answer 5

The statement has to be false

Answer 6

To be made*

Answer 7

I just search for reverse order and the NOT x'D

Answer 8

that's converse

Answer 9

inverse is normal order with a not and contra is reverse order with a not

Answer 10

ok it's A

Because that is obviously not always true

Answer 11

So I was right

Answer 12

no guys trust me it's C

Answer 13

Contrapositive swaps the hypothesis + conclusion in a way that makes it falsse

and A does that

Answer 14

BUT

Answer 15

A doesn't make it false

Answer 16

My bad not false

Answer 17

Not all congruent angles are vertical tho

Answer 18

@dude SOS lol

Answer 19

sure that just means the converse is false

Answer 20

B is the INVERSE so that's wrong

Answer 21

1. Vertical angles are congruent. TRUE
2. Congruent angles are vertical. FALSE

Answer 22

D isn't even an option

Answer 23

True

Answer 24

...


OH

Answer 31

Answer 32

he's on mobile

@SmokeyBrown ?

Answer 33

I looked up what contrapositive means, and I got something like "the reversal of a premise and conclusion and negation of both premise and conclusion"
[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."]
So let's take the original statement "If two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent."
Reversing and negating the statement gives us "If two angles are not congruent, then they are not vertical angles"
That'd be C, btw

Answer 34

^ Thank you for the expert opinion
