Types of Conditionals Geometry
The converse of a conditional statement is formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion. p: x is prime. q: x is odd. Conditional: (p → q) If x is prime, then x is odd. Converse: (q → p) If x is odd, then x is prime.

The inverse of a conditional statement is formed by negating the hypothesis and conclusion. p: x is prime. q: x is odd. Conditional: (p → q) If x is prime, then x is odd. Inverse: (~p → ~q) If x is not prime, then x is not odd.

The contrapositive of a conditional statement is formed by performing the inverse and converse of the conditional statement. p: x is prime. q: x is odd. Conditional: (p → q) If x is prime, then x is odd. Contrapositive: (~q → ~p) If x is not odd, then x is not prime.

Write the converse, the inverse and the contrapositive for each conditional statement. 1) If the figure is a square, then it has four sides. 2) If I do not set my alarm, then I’ll be late to school.
Write the converse, the inverse and the contrapositive for each conditional statement. 1) If the figure is a square, then it has four sides. Converse: If the figure has four sides, then it is a square. Inverse: If the figure is not a square, then it does not have four sides. Contrapositive: If the figure does not have four sides, then it is not a square.
Write the converse, the inverse and the contrapositive for each conditional statement. 2) If I do not set my alarm, then I’ll be late to school. Converse: If I am late to school, then I did not set my alarm. Inverse: If I set my alarm, then I will not be late to school. Contrapositive: If I am not late to school, then I set my alarm.
