Lesson 2.1 Conditional Statements

The document discusses conditional statements and their components. It provides examples of writing statements in if-then form and determining if they are true or false. It also gives examples of the inverse, converse, and contrapositive of statements. Finally, it presents several postulates of geometry and examples of writing them in if-then form and finding their inverse, converse, and contrapositive.

Lesson 2.

Conditional
Statements
Conditional Statement

Two parts:
hypothesis and
conclusion
If-then form
Ex. If it is noon
in Philadelphia,
then it is 9 A.M.
in Los Angeles.
“if” contains
hypothesis
“then” contains
conclusion
Example 1

Write the statements in


if-then form.
1. A number
divisible by 9 is
also divisible by 3.
If a number is
divisible by 9,
then it is divisible
by 3.
2. All mammals
breathe oxygen.
If an animal is a
mammal, then it
breathes oxygen.
3. Two points are
collinear if they lie
on the same line.
If two points lie
on the same line,
then they are
collinear.
Conditional
Statements can be
true or false. If
they are false, we
must find a
counterexample.
Example 2
Determine if the statement
is true or false. If it is false,
find a counterexample
If a point is
distinct, then it
may lie on more
than one line.
If x =16, then x=4
2
If a number is
odd, then it is
divisible by 3.
Converse: formed
by switching the
hypothesis and
conclusion
“flip-flop”
Statement: If you see lightning, then
you hear thunder?
Converse: If you hear thunder, then
you see lightning.

Are both these true?


If 2 segments are
congruent, then
they have the
same length.
Converse: If two
segments have
the same length,
then they are
congruent.
If an angle is
acute, then its
measure is less
than 90 degrees.
Converse: If an
angle measures
less than 90°,
then it is acute.
Inverse: negate
the hypothesis
and conclusion
Contrapositive:
Negate the
converse
“Negative flip-flop”
If m<A=120°
degrees, then the
angle is obtuse.
Inverse:
If m<A≠120°
degrees, then the
angle is not obtuse.
Converse:
If the angle is
obtuse, then
m<A=120°.
Contrapositive:
If the angle is not
obtuse, then
m<A ≠ 120.
Statement: If
m<P=90°, then
<P is a right
angle.
Inverse:
If m<P ≠ 90°,
then <P is not a
right angle.
Converse:
If <P is a right
angle, then
m<P=90.
Contrapositive:
If <P is not a
right angle, then
m<P ≠ 90.
Statement:
If an animal is a fish, then it can
swim.
Inverse
If an animal is not a fish, then it
can not swim.
Converse

If an animal can swim, then


it is a fish.
Contrapositive

If an animal can’t swim, then


it is not a fish.
Statement

If x=y, then 3x=3y.


Inverse

If x≠y, then 3x ≠3y.


Converse

If 3x=3y, then x=y.


Contrapositive

If 3x ≠3y, then x ≠y.


Equivalent
Statements:
two statements are
both true or both
false.
Postulate 5
Through any 2 points, there
exists exactly one line.
Postulate 6
A line contains AT LEAST 2
points
Postulate 7
If two lines intersect,
then their intersection
is exactly one point.
Postulate 8
Through any 3
NONCOLLINEAR points,
there exists exactly one
plane.
Postulate 9
A plane contains AT LEAST
3 NONCOLLINEAR points.
Postulate 10
If two points lie in a plane,
then the line containing
them also lies in the plane.
Postulate 11
If two planes intersect, then
their intersection is a line.
Write postulate 5 in if-then form.
Through any 2 points, there exists
exactly one line.
If there are 2 points, then there
exists exactly one line.
Inverse

If there is not two points,


then there is not exactly one
line.
Converse

If there exists exactly one


line, then there are 2 points.
Contrapositive

If there is not exactly one


line, then there is not 2
points.
Postulate 8
Through any 3 noncollinear
points, there exists exactly one
plane.
If there are 3 noncollinear points,
then there exists exactly one
plane.
Inverse

If there are not 3


noncollinear points, then
there is not exactly one
plane.
Converse

If there exists exactly one


plane, then there are 3
noncollinear points.
Contrapositive

If there is not exactly one


plane, then there are not 3
noncollinear points.
