Example:
Right angle is defined as an angle whose measure is 90 degrees.
it can be written as
"If two lines are parallel, then they don't intersect."
It may be noted that the converse of a definition, must always be true. If this is
not the case, then the definition is not valid. The converse is; therefore, can be
taken as a helping tool in determining the validity of a definition. Remember: a
conditional (p q) and its converse (q p) may or may not be true. It is important that
the truth value of each converse is judged on its own merits.
Contrapositive is a statement formed by negating both the hypothesis
and conclusion (p q) and also then interchanging these negations (~ q ~p).
The symbols for contrapositive may be read as ‘not q implies not
p’ or ‘if not q, then not p’. The contrapositive of a conditional statement
always has the same truth value as the original statement. Therefore, the
contrapositive of a definition is always true.
Example:
Remember: a conditional (p q) and its contrapositive (~ q ~p) must have the same truth
value. When a conditional is true, it's contrapositive is also true and when a conditional is
false, it's contrapositive is also false.
Converse, Inverse, Contrapositive
Given an if-then statement "if p then q ," we can create three related statements:
A conditional statement consists of two parts, a hypothesis in the “if” clause and a conclusion
in the “then” clause.
For instance, “If it rains, then they cancel school.”
"It rains" is the hypothesis.
"They cancel school" is the conclusion.
To form the converse of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion.
The converse of "If it rains, then they cancel school" is "If they cancel school, then it rains."
To form the inverse of the conditional statement, take the negation of both the hypothesis and the
conclusion.
The inverse of “If it rains, then they cancel school” is “If it does not rain, then they do not cancel
school.”
To form the contrapositive of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the
conclusion of the inverse statement.
The contrapositive of "If it rains, then they cancel school" is "If they do not cancel school, then it
does not rain."
Conditional Statement if p then q
Converse if q then p
Inverse If not p then not q
Contrapositive If not q then not p
Statement: If two angles are congruent, then they have the same measure.
Converse: If two angles have the same measure, then they are congruent.
Inverse: If two angles are not congruent, then they do not have the same measure.
Contrapositive: If two angles do not have the same measure, then they are not congruent.
