  1. Geometry 2.1 If-Then Statements; Converses

  2. The foundation of doing well in Geometry is knowing what the words mean. This is the first introduction to logical reasoning………

  3. In Geometry, a student might read, “If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC (You know this as the Segment Addition Postulate)

  4. If-Then To represent if-then statements symbolically, we use the basic form below: If p, then q. p: hypothesis q: conclusion

  5. True or false? • If you live in San Francisco, then you live in California. True

  6. Converse • The converse of a conditional is formed by switching the hypothesis and the conclusion: • Statement: If p, then q. • Converse: If q, then p. • hypothesisconclusion

  7. A counterexample is an example where the hypothesis is true, but the conclusion is false. • It takes only ONE counterexample to disprove a statement.

  8. State whether each conditional is true or false. If false, find a counterexample. • Statement: If you live in San Francisco, then you live in California. True Converse: If you live in California, then you live in San Francisco. False • Statement: If points are coplanar, then they are collinear. False Converse: If points are collinear, then they are coplanar. True • If AB BC, then B is the midpoint of AC. False Converse: If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB BC. True These make the hypothesis true and conclusion false. Counterexample: You live in Danville, Alamo, Livermore, etc. . It makes the hypothesis true and conclusion is false. . . Counterexample: B. It makes the hypothesis true and conclusion false. .C A. Counterexample:

  9. Find a counterexample If a line lies in a vertical plane, then the line is vertical. If x2 = 49, then x = 7. Counterexample: x = -7 It makes the hypothesis true and conclusion false. Counterexample: It makes the hypothesis true and conclusion false.

  10. Other Forms of Conditional Statements General formExample If p, then q. If 6x = 18, then x = 3. p implies q. 6x = 18 implies x = 3. p only if q. 6x = 18 only if x = 3. q if p. x = 3 if 6x = 18. These all say the same thing.

  11. The Biconditional If a conditional and its converse are BOTH TRUE, then they can be combined into a single statement using the words “if and only if.” This is a biconditional. p if and only if q. pq. Example:Tomorrow is Saturdayif and only if today is Friday.

  12. The Biconditional as a Definition • A ray is an angle bisector if and only if it divides the angle into two congruent angles.
