Question

1. conditional: if the figure is a square, then the figure is a quadrilateral. new statement: if the figure is not a quadrilateral, then the figure is not a square. the “new statement” is the __________ of the original, conditional statement.

Explanation:

In logic, for a conditional statement "if p then q", the contrapositive is "if not q then not p". Here, the original statement is "if the figure is a square (p), then the figure is a quadrilateral (q)", and the new statement "if the figure is not a quadrilateral (not q), then the figure is not a square (not p)" follows the form of the contrapositive.

Answer:

Contrapositive
