Brief Explanations
- Original Statement: Let the original statement be "If $P$, then $Q$", where $P$ = "a figure is a square", $Q$ = "it is a polygon".
- Contrapositive: Follows the form "If not $Q$, then not $P$". This swaps and negates both parts of the original statement.
- Converse: Follows the form "If $Q$, then $P$". This swaps the hypothesis and conclusion of the original statement.
- Inverse: Follows the form "If not $P$, then not $Q$". This negates both parts of the original statement without swapping.
