Question

identify the hypothesis in the conditional statement below. point x lies on segment ab if point x is the mid - point of segment ab. point x lies on segment ab. segment ab is contains point x. segment x is the mid - point of point ab. point x is the mid - point of segment ab.

Explanation:

In a conditional statement "if p then q", p is the hypothesis. Here the conditional statement is "Point X lies on segment AB if point X is the midpoint of segment AB", which can be re - written as "If point X is the midpoint of segment AB, then point X lies on segment AB". So the hypothesis is the part after "if".

Answer:

Point X is the midpoint of segment AB.
