Question
a conditional statement is given.
\if the measures of two angles add to 180°, then the angles are supplementary.\
for each statement below, determine its relationship to the conditional statement.
| statement | relationship to the conditional |
|---|---|
| if two angles are supplementary, then the measures of their angles add to 180° | |
| if two angles are not supplementary, then the measures of their angles do not add to 180° | |
| the measures of two angles add to 180° if and only if the angles are supplementary |
Brief Explanations
- Let the conditional statement be "If \(p\), then \(q\)" where \(p\) is "the measures of two - angles add to \(180^{\circ}\)" and \(q\) is "the angles are supplementary".
- The first statement "If the measures of two angles do not add to \(180^{\circ}\), then the angles are not supplementary" is the contra - positive of the conditional statement. The contra - positive of "If \(p\), then \(q\)" is "If not \(p\), then not \(q\)" and a conditional statement and its contra - positive are logically equivalent.
- The second statement "If two angles are supplementary, then the measures of their angles add to \(180^{\circ}\)" is the converse of the conditional statement. The converse of "If \(p\), then \(q\)" is "If \(q\), then \(p\)".
- The third statement "If two angles are not supplementary, then the measures of their angles do not add to \(180^{\circ}\)" is the inverse of the conditional statement. The inverse of "If \(p\), then \(q\)" is "If not \(q\), then not \(p\)".
- The fourth statement "The measures of two angles add to \(180^{\circ}\) if and only if the angles are supplementary" is the biconditional of the conditional statement. The biconditional " \(p\) if and only if \(q\)" is equivalent to \((p
ightarrow q)\land(q
ightarrow p)\).
