2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements

Page 2: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

Conditional Statement

• A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion.

• If-then form: “If” part contains hypothesis“then” part contains

conclusion

Example: If it has four legs, then it is a dog.

Rewriting a Conditional Statement in if-then form

• All whales are mammals.

• Three points are collinear if there is a line containing them.

Page 4: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

EXAMPLE 1 Rewrite a statement in if-then form

Rewrite the conditional statement in if-then form.

All birds have feathers.a.

b. Two angles are supplementary if they are a linear pair.

SOLUTION

First, identify the hypothesis and the conclusion. When you rewrite the statement in if-then form, you may need to reword the hypothesis or conclusion.

a. All birds have feathers.

If an animal is a bird, then it has feathers.

Negation

• The opposite of the original statement

• Original Statement: The ball is red

• Negation: The ball is not red

Proving Conditional Statements

• To show that a conditional statement is true, must show that the conclusion is true every time the hypothesis is true.

• To show it’s false, give one counterexample.

Page 10: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

Lingo

• Converse: Exchanges the hypothesis and conclusion“The converse is the reverse”

• Inverse: negate the hypothesis and conclusion

• Contrapositive: Negates the converse

Page 11: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

EXAMPLE 2 Write four related conditional statements

Write the if-then form, the converse, the inverse, and the contrapositive of the conditional statement “Guitar players are musicians.” Decide whether each statement is true or false.

SOLUTION

If-then form: If you are a guitar player, then you are a musician.

Converse: If you are a musician, then you are a guitar player.

True, guitars players are musicians.

False, not all musicians play the guitar.

EXAMPLE 2 Write four related conditional statements

Inverse: If you are not a guitar player, then you are not a musician.

Contrapositive: If you are not a musician, then you are not a guitar player.

False, even if you don’t play a guitar, you can still bea musician.

True, a person who is not a musician cannot be a guitar player.

GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 2

5. If a dog is a Great Dane, then it is large

Write the converse, the inverse, and the contrapositive of the conditional statement. Tell whether each statement is true or false.

Converse: If the dog is large, then it is a Great Dane, False

Inverse: If dog is not a Great Dane, then it is not large, False

ANSWER

Contrapositive: If a dog is not large, then it is not aGreat Dane, True

GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 2

6. If a polygon is equilateral, then the polygon is regular.

Converse: If polygon is regular, then it is equilateral, True

Inverse: If a polygon is not equilateral, then it is not regular, True

Contrapositive: If a polygon is not regular, then it is not equilateral, False

ANSWER

Page 15: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

Working with definitions

• Any definition can be made into an if-then statement

• On page 81: Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect to form a right angle. – If-then: If two lines intersect at a right angle,

then they are perpendicular lines.

Reminders

• How do you tell angles are congruent by looking at a diagram?

• How do you know an angle is a right angle?

• How do you know segments are congruent?

Page 17: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

EXAMPLE 3 Use definitions

Decide whether each statement about the diagram is true. Explain your answer using the definitions you have learned.

a. AC BD

b. AEB and CEB are a linear pair.

c. EA and EB are opposite rays.

Page 18: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

EXAMPLE 3 Use definitions

SOLUTION

a. This statement is true. The right angle symbol in the diagram indicates that the lines intersect to form a right angle. So you can say the lines are perpendicular.

b. This statement is true. By definition, if the noncommon sides of adjacent angles are opposite rays, then the angles are a linear pair. Because EA and EC are opposite rays, AEB and CEB are a linear pair.

Page 19: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

EXAMPLE 3 Use definitions

c. This statement is false. Point E does not lie on the same line as A and B, so the rays are not opposite rays.

GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 3

Use the diagram shown. Decide whether each statement is true. Explain your answer using the definitions you have learned.

7. JMF and FMG are supplementary.

This statement is true because linear pairs of angles are supplementary.

ANSWER

Page 21: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 3

Use the diagram shown. Decide whether each statement is true. Explain your answer using the definitions you have learned.

8. Point M is the midpoint of FH .

ANSWER

This statement is false because it is not known that FM = MH . So, all you can say is that M is a point of FH

Page 22: 2.2 Write Definitions as Conditional Statements. Conditional Statement A logical statement with a hypothesis and a conclusion. If-then form: “If” part

GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 3

Use the diagram shown. Decide whether each statement is true. Explain your answer using the definitions you have learned.

9. JMF and HMG are vertical angles.

ANSWER

This statement is true because in the diagram two intersecting lines form 2 pairs of vertical angles.

GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 3

Use the diagram shown. Decide whether each statement is true. Explain your answer using the definitions you have learned.

10. FH JG

ANSWER

This statement is false : By definition if two intersect to form a right angle then they are perpendicular. But in the diagram it is not known that the lines intersect at right angles . So you cannot say that FH JG

Biconditional Statement

• Contains the words “if and only if”

• In order to be a true biconditional, it has to be a true if-then conditional statement, and have a true converse

EXAMPLE 4 Write a biconditional

Write the definition of perpendicular lines as a biconditional.

SOLUTION

Definition: If two lines intersect to form a right angle, then they are perpendicular.

Converse: If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect to form a right angle.

Biconditional: Two lines are perpendicular if and only if they intersect to form a right angle.
