February 08, 2017 If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment. If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment, then it is on the perpendicular bisector. February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 Types of statements: Conditional Converse Biconditional Inverse Negation February 08, 2017 Evaluate the truth value of the statement: BellefonteisthecapitalofPennsylvania Write the statement's negation Negation: Bellefonte is NOT the capital of Pennsylvania. February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 Inverse of a conditional statement both the hypothesis and conclusion are negated Contrapositive of a conditional statement hypothesis and conclusion are flipped around AND both negated February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 Conditional Statement: If a figure is a square, then it is a rectangle. Converse: If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a square. Inverse: If a figure is not a square, then it is not a rectangle. Contrapositive: If a figure is not a rectangle, then it is not a square. Evaluate the truth values of the statements February 08, 2017 A conditional statement and its contrapositive are said to be equivalent statements since they always have the same truth-value. February 08, 2017 Conditional: If you don't stand for something, then you'll fall for anything Converse: If you fall for anything, then you don't stand for something. Inverse: If you stand for something, then you won't fall for anything. Contrapositive: If you don't fall for anything, then you'll stand for something. February 08, 2017 Equivalent Statements February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 Proofs Using Indirect Reasoning How to use indirect reasoning: Prove all possibilities are FALSE except one, that one must be TRUE February 08, 2017 Steps to writing an indirect proof Step 1: Assume that the negation of what you want to prove is true. Step 2: Show that this assumption from step 1 leads to a contradiction (with the given) Step 3: Conclude that your original (negated) assumption must be false and therefore what you want to prove is true February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 Assume that Quadrilateral QRWX DOES have 4 acute angles. Assume an integer n is not divisible by 5. February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 w/ base angles and February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 Two angles are not congruent February 08, 2017 a. If a figure is not a rectangle, then it doesn't have four sides b. If a figure doesn't have four sides, then it is not a rectangle. February 08, 2017 Assume that Triangle PEN is not isosceles February 08, 2017 I and II since a right triangle can't be equilateral I and II since it must be a right triangle if A and C are both 60 degrees, B can't be a right angle. February 08, 2017 a. 20 or more members b. Total membership is fewer than 20 c. The Debate Club has few than 10 members. February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 February 08, 2017 a. if four points are not collinear, then they are not coplanar - FALSE - see points above b. if four points are not coplanar, then they are not collinear - TRUE February 08, 2017 27) If a student attends school in the Fairmont building, then she has Jon Downs as a school director. Inverse: If a student doesn't attend school in the Fairmont Building, then she doesn't have Jon Downs as a school director s 28. Not possible. If the conditional statement is true, the contrapositive will always have the same truth value, so it would also have to be true. February 08, 2017
