2.2 Analyze Conditional Statements
Conditional Statement:
logical statement that has 2 parts-hypothesis
& conclusion
written in if-then form
Ex. If it is raining, then there are clouds in the sky.
Rewrite the conditional statement in if-then form.
All birds have feathers.
If an animal is a bird, then it has feathers.
2 angles are supplementary if they are a linear pair
If 2 angles are a linear pair, then they are
supplementary.

· Conditional statements can be T or F.
· Prove that the conclusion is true every time the
hypothesis is true.
· To show false: give 1 counterexample.
Conditional Statement: If m A = 99, then A is obtuse.
T
Converse: exchange the hypothesis and conclusion
If m A is obtuse, then m A = 99.
F
Inverse: negate both the hypothesis and conclusion
If m A ≠99, then A is not obtuse.
F
Contrapositive: write the converse, then negate both hypothesis
and conclusion
If A is not obtuse, then m A ≠ 99.
T

You can write a definition as a conditional statement
in if-then form or as its converse.
Both are True.
Definition: If 2 lines intersect to form a right
angle, then they are perpendicular lines.
Converse: If 2 lines are perpendicular, then they
intersect to form a right angle.
You can write "line l is perpendicular to line m"
as l m.

Biconditional Statement:
· When conditional statement and converse are T, then
you can write them as a biconditional statement.
· if and only if (IFF)
· any valid definition can be written as biconditional
