Question

problem 22: (first taught in lesson 29) write the converse of this statement and decide whether it is true or false. then, select the correct answer. if a triangle is isosceles, then it has at least two equal sides.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall converse - statement rule

The converse of "If p, then q" is "If q, then p". Here p = "a triangle is isosceles" and q = "it has at least two equal sides".

Step2: Write the converse

We swap p and q to get "If a triangle has at least two equal sides, then it is isosceles".

Step3: Determine truth - value

By the definition of an isosceles triangle (a triangle with at least two equal sides), the converse statement is True.

Answer:

The converse statement: If a triangle has at least two equal sides, then it is isosceles. It is True.
