Conditional Statements
Conditional Statement

True under certain
conditions

Can be written in the form
If _____, then _____.
Hypothesis

the “if” part

what has to happen first

antecedent or prerequisite
Conclusion

the “then” part

what will happen after the
hypothesis occurs

consequent
Identify the hypothesis and
conclusion in these statements.

We have shorter classes
at Garrigan when there’s
mass.

We have shorter classes
at Garrigan when there’s
mass.
H = there’s mass
C = shorter classes at Garrigan

Since it was raining, she
took an umbrella with her.

Since it was raining, she
took an umbrella with her.
H = it was raining
C = she took an umbrella with
her.

We had a substitute because
the teacher was sick.

We had a substitute because
the teacher was sick.
H = the teacher was sick
C = we has a substitute

If you get a BB gun, you’ll
shoot your eye out.

If you get a BB gun, you’ll
shoot your eye out.
H = you get a BB gun
C = you’ll shoot your eye out

Being enrolled in Geometry
implies having passed
Algebra I.
(This one is a trick
question.)

Being enrolled in Geometry
implies having passed
Algebra I.
H = Being enrolled in Geometry
C = Passed Algebra I
Standard Notation for if/then
AB
This means “If A, then B”
or “A implies B”
Write this sentence in if/then
form:
Parallel lines have the same
slope.
Write this sentence in if/then
form:
Parallel lines have the same
slope.
If lines are parallel, then they
have the same slope.
In Geometry we
care about the
truth value
of statements
In order for a conditional
statement to be true …
every time the
hypothesis is true,
the conclusion
must also be true
So …
“If there’s a teacher inservice,
then we get out early”
is true.
“If we get out early, then
there’s a teacher inservice”
is false.
Alternative conditional
statements …
Converse

The converse
of A  B
is B  A

Switch around the
hypothesis and
conclusion.
Find the converse of …

If today is Thursday, then
tomorrow is Friday.

If 2 angles of a triangle
have the same measure,
then 2 sides of the triangle
have the same measure.
Find the converse of …

If there’s mass, then
classes are short.

All squares are rectangles.
The last two examples show
that the converse is not
necessarily true.
In logic, the symbol ~
means NOT.
Inverse

The inverse of A  B
is ~A  ~B

Make both parts negative.
(Keep order the same.)
Find the inverse of …

If today is Thursday, then
tomorrow is Friday.

If 2 angles of a triangle
have the same measure,
then 2 sides of the triangle
have the same measure.
Find the inverse of …

If there’s mass, then
classes are short.

All squares are rectangles.
The last two examples show that the
inverse is not necessarily true.
Contrapositive

The converse of A  B
is ~B  ~A

Backwards AND negative

Converse of the inverse
Find the contrapositive of …

If today is Thursday, then
tomorrow is Friday.

If 2 angles of a triangle
have the same measure,
then 2 sides of the triangle
have the same measure.
Find the contrapositive of …

If there’s mass, then
classes are short.

All squares are rectangles.
If a conditional is true, then its
contrapositive is also true.
A statement and its
contrapositive are
logically equivalent.
A  B  ~B  ~A
REMEMBER
conditional
hypothesis
conclusion
converse
inverse
contrapositive
logically
equivalent
