Conditional Statements

WINTERTemplate
combination of two
statements p and q and by the
words if and then
“If p, then q.”

p: Two distinct planes intersect.
q: The intersection is a line.
Conditional:
If two distinct planes intersect,
p
then their intersection is a line.
q

if-then statement
In symbols,
p q
read if p then q,
or p implies q

Take note!
Conditional statements might NOT always
be written in the “if-then” form.
Examples:
I’ll wash the car if the weather is nice.
If the weather is nice, then I will wash the car.
I’ll be a millionaire when I win the lottery.
If I win the lottery, then I will be a millionaire.

Write the following statements in if-then form.
Example 1
Cheese contains calcium.
If it is a cheese, then it contains calcium.
Example 2
Eighteen-year-olds are eligible to drive.
If you are eighteen years old, then you are
eligible to drive.

Example 3
Thomasians are humble.
If you are a Thomasian, then you are humble.
Example 4
A right angle measures 90 degrees.
If it is a right angle, then it measures 90 degrees.

Example 5
In the equation 10x = 5, x = 2.
If 10x = 5, then x = 2.
Example 6
A polygon with four sides is a quadrilateral.
If a polygon has four sides, then it is a
quadrilateral.

Example 7
All congruent segments have the same length.
If segments are congruent, then they have the
same length.
Example 8
All congruent angles have the same angle
measure.
If angles are congruent, then they have the same
angle measure.

Conditionals: True or False?
Conditionals can be either true or false.
A conditional is true if it can be verified by
the following:
• fact
• definition
• property
• postulate
• theorem

WINTERTemplate
Conditionals: True or False?
Conditionals can be either true or false.
A false conditional occurs when:
the hypothesis is TRUE
the conclusion is FALSE
Example:
If there are three non-collinear points, then four lines
are formed.
If the sum of the angles of a polygon is 180 degrees,
then it is a square.
