Question

question 8 (multiple choice worth 1 points) (01.05r mc) read the following statements statement 1: if it is a triangle, then it has three sides statement 2: if it does not have three sides, then it is not a triangle determine if the statements are true or false and if they have the same meaning both statements are true and they do not have the same meaning both statements are false and they do have the same meaning both statements are true and they have the same meaning both statements are false and they do not have the same meaning

Explanation:

Statement 1 is a definition - a triangle by definition has three sides. Statement 2 is the contrapositive of Statement 1. In logic, a conditional statement and its contrapositive are logically equivalent. So both are true and have the same meaning.

Answer:

Both statements are true and they have the same meaning
