CONDITIONAL STATEMENT
If-then statements or conditional statements have two
parts: the “if” which is the hypothesis and the “then”, which is
the conclusion.
Example 1:
Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion.
a)If x – 50 = 30, then x = 82.
b)If EJ was born in 1998, then she is 14 years old now.
c)If you see the magic in the fairy tale, then you can face the
future.
EXAMPLE 2:
EXAMPLE 6:
a) If you see lightning, then you hear thunder.
If you hear thunder, then you see
lightning.
b) If it is an isosceles right triangle, then the acute angles are
bothIf 45 degrees.
the acute angles are both 45 degrees, then it is an
isosceles triangle.
An inverse statement is formed when you negate the hypothesis and
conclusion of a conditional statement. Negating the hypothesis and
conclusion of a converse statement, forms a contrapositive.

EXAMPLE 8:
Write each conditional statement “If the measure of an angle is 90°, then
it is a right angle.”
If the measure of an angle is not 90°, then it is not a right
a) Inverse angle
If it is a right angle, then the measure of an angle is 90°.
b) Converse If it is not a right angle, then the measure of an angle is not
