1. 3.8 What’s the Condition? Pg. 28 Conditional Statements and Converses

2. 3.8 – What's the Condition?___________ Conditional Statements and Converses Today you are going to explore conditional statements and rearrange them to develop a different meaning. You are also going to examine how to prove something with contradictions and counterexamples.

3. 3.39 – CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS A conditional statement is a claim based on a condition of something happening. Proofs are an example of a conditional statement. If the given is true, then the proof must happen. Conditional statements are written in the form, "If __________, then______________." Rewrite each definition into a conditional statement.

4. a. Lines that are parallel have corresponding angles that are congruent. If __________________________, then _______________________ lines are parallel corresponding angles are congruent

5. If a quadrilateral has both opposite sides parallel, then it is a parallelogram b. Quadrilaterals with both opposite sides parallel are parallelograms.

6. If a polygon is a triangle, then has 3 sides c. All triangles have three sides.

7. If a polygon has all sides and angles =, then it is regular d. A polygon with all angles and sides congruent is regular.

8. 3.40 – COUNTEREXAMPLES When you are dealing with a conditional statement, you must assume the first part of the statement is true. Then decide if the conclusion must happen, based on the hypothesis. Determine if the statement is true or false. If it is false, provide an example of why it is false.

9. a. If you drive a mustang, then it is red. False, you could drive a black mustang

10. True

11. False, obtuse and 160

12. False, rhombus d. If a quadrilateral is equilateral, then it is equiangular.

13. False, rectangle e. If a quadrilateral is equiangular, then it is equilateral.

14. 3.41 - Converses

15. a. Maggie is working with a different diagram, shown at right. She concludes that x = y. Write her conditional statement that justifies her reasoning. If lines are parallel, then alternate interior angles are equal

16. b. How are Jorge's and Maggie's statements related? How are they different? If lines are parallel,then alternate interior angles are = If alternate interior angles are =, then lines are parallel Same words, but reversed

17. c. Conditional statements that have this relationship are called converses. Write the converse of the conditional statement: If lines are parallel, then corresponding angles are equal. If, then corresponding angles are = lines are parallel

18. a. Is this conditional statement true? yes 3.42 – True Statements

19. b. Write the converse of this arrow diagram as an arrow diagram or as a conditional statement. Is this converse true? Justify your answer. true

20. c. Now consider another true congruence conjecture: "If a quadrilateral is a rhombus, then its diagonals are perpendicular." Write its converse and decide if it is true. Justify your answer. If a quadrilateral is a rhombus, then its diagonals are perp. If, then the diagonals are perp. the quad is a rhombus False, could be a kite

21. d. Write the converse of the arrow diagram below. Is this converse true? Justify your answer. "If a shape is a rectangle, then the area is base times height. If, then the area is base x height the shape is a rectangle False, could be a parallelogram

22. 3.43 – CRAZY CONVERSES For each of these problems below, make up a conditional statement or arrow diagram that meets the stated conditions. You must use a different example each time, and none of your examples can be about math!
