Geometry - 091612 - 2 3 Conditional Statements
3 Conditional Statements
ex 1: If you have a student ID,
then you get 10% discount.
Conclusion:
you have a student ID Hypothesis:
you get 10% discount
What is the hypothesis?
What is the conclusion?
The part of the conditional after IF
The part of the conditional after THEN
ex 2: The Braves will be in the playoffs if they
win their next game.
Hypothesis:
Conclusion:
they win their next game
the Braves will be in the playoffs
Be careful about pronounsit may be
difficult to tell who they are.
ex 3: If A, B, and C lie on line l, then they are collinear.
Hypothesis:
Conclusion:
A, B, and C lie on line l
A, B, and C are collinear
That conclusion sounds better than
saying they are collinear.
ex 4: A five-sided polygon is a pentagon.
Hypothesis:
Conclusion:
a polygon has five sides
the polygon is a pentagon
Conditional: If a polygon has five sides,
then the polygon is a pentagon.
Or If a polygon has five sides,
then it is a pentagon.
ex 5: All squares are rectangles.
Hypothesis:
Conclusion:
a figure is a square
the figure is a rectangle
Conditional: If a figure is a square,
then the figure is a rectangle.
Conditional: If two angles have the same measure,
then they are congruent.
Converse: switch hypothesis and conclusion
If two angles are congruent,
then they have the same measure.
Conditional: If two angles have the same measure,
then they are congruent.
Inverse: negate hypothesis and conclusion
If two angles do not have the same measure,
then they are not congruent.
Conditional: If two angles have the same measure,
then they are congruent.
If two angles are not congruent,
then they do not have the same measure.
Contrapositive: switch and negate the conditional
Truth table for conditional statements
If Mike rests for 10 days,
then his ankle will heal.
p:
q:
Mike rests for 10 days
his ankle will heal
Statements with the same truth values are said to
be logically equivalent. Therefore, a conditional
and its contrapositive are logically equivalent.
If an angle is a right angle, then its
measure is 90 degrees.
If the measure of an angle is not 90
degrees then, its not a right angle.
