Get started for freeClassify the following conditional as true or false. Then state its inverse and contrapositive and classify each of these as true or false.
If a triangle is not isosceles, then it is not equilateral.
Suppose someone plans to write an indirect proof of the conditional. Write a correct first sentence of the indirect proof.
If , then .
Classify the following conditional as true or false. Then state its inverse and contrapositive and classify each of these as true or false.
If a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular.
For the following conditional statement, classify the statement as true or false.
If , then .
Write the letters (a)-(d) in an order that completes an indirect proof of the statement: Through a point outside a line, there is at most one line perpendicular to the given line.
Given: Point P not on the line k.
Prove: There is at most one line through P perpendicular to k.
(a) But this contradicts corollary3 of theorem 3-11: In a triangle, there can be at most one right angle or obtuse angle.
(b) Then and are right angles, and has two right angles.
(c) Thus, our temporary assumption is false, and there is at most one line through P perpendicular to k.
(d) Assume temporarily that there are two lines through P perpendicular to k at A, B.
