statement
Example:
If you are not completely satisfied, then

Vocabulary
hypothesis– the part of the conditional
statement following “if”.
Example:
If you are not completely satisfied,
then your money will be refunded.
Vocabulary

statement following “then”.
Example:
If you are not completely satisfied, then

Your Turn:
Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion
of the following conditional statement.

Your Turn:
Write the following sentence as a
conditional statement.
An integer that ends with a zero
is divisible by 5.
Your Turn:
Write the following sentence as a
conditional statement.

sides.
Vocabulary
Truth value– determining if the
conditional statement is TRUE or FALSE.
A conditional statement is TRUE if every
time the hypothesis is true, the conclusion
is also true.
Example of a true conditional statement:
If a figure is a square, then it has four
congruent sides.
Vocabulary
Truth value– determining if the
conditional statement is TRUE or FALSE.
A conditional statement is FALSE if you
can find just one counterexample for
which the hypothesis is true and the
conclusion is false.
Example of a false conditional statement:
If you go to Wallenpaupack Area HS, then
you live in Hawley, PA.
Your Turn:
Determine the truth value of the following
conditional statement.
If you live in Philadelphia, then
you live in Pennsylvania.
Your Turn:
Determine the truth value of the following
conditional statement.
If a quadrilateral has four right
angles, then the quadrilateral is a
square.
Vocabulary
Venn Diagram– a diagram made up of
overlapping circles/ovals.
A Venn Diagram can be useful in
determining the truth value of a
conditional statement.
Venn Diagram to represent a
TRUE conditional statement.
If you are legally driving, then you are at
least 16 years old.

Vocabulary
Converse of a Conditional Statement–
switch the hypothesis and the conclusion.
Example:

intersect, then they are skew.
Converse:
If 2 lines are skew, then they are not
parallel and do not intersect.
Conditional Statement:
If 2 lines are not parallel and do not
intersect, then they are skew.

Vocabulary
Biconditional Statement – a statement you
get by connecting the conditional
statement and its converse with the word
“and”.
You can also use the phrase “if and only if”.
Can only be combined if the conditional
statement and its converse are both true.
Example of a Biconditional:
Conditional Statement:
If two angles have the same measure,
then the angles are congruent.
Converse:
If two angles are congruent, then the
angles have the same measure.
Since both the conditional and converse
statements are true…
Biconditional:
Two angles have the same measure if and
only if the two angles are congruent.
Symbolic Form
Conditional Statement– if p, then q.
pq
Converse– if q, then p.
qp
Biconditional– p if and only if q
pq
What makes a Good Definition?
Uses clearly understood terms
Precise (don’t use words such as sort of,
or some)
Reversible (can be written as a
biconditional)
Is this a Good Definition?
A right angle is an angle whose measure is
90.
Good Definition
Conditional: If an angle is a right angle,
then it measures 90.
Converse: If an angle measures 90, then it
is a right angle.
Biconditional: An angle is a right angle if
and only if its measure is 90.
Is this a Good Definition?
An airplane is a vehicle that flies.
 Bad Definition 
Conditional: If its an airplane, then it’s a
vehicle that flies.
Converse: If it’s a vehicle that flies, then it
