Question

which statement is the converse of the following conditional? if a polygon has three sides, then it is a triangle. a if a polygon does not have three sides, then it is not a triangle. b if a polygon is not a triangle, then it does not have three sides. c if a polygon is a triangle, then it does not have three sides. d if a polygon is a triangle, then it has three sides.

Explanation:

The converse of a conditional statement "If p, then q" is "If q, then p". Here, p is "a polygon has three sides" and q is "it is a triangle". So the converse is "If a polygon is a triangle, then it has three sides".

Answer:

D. If a polygon is a triangle, then it has three sides
