Learn about geometric conditional statements, recognizing and analyzing them, and writing postulates using "if-then" form. Includes examples like finding counterexamples and converting statements to converse form.
E N D
Standards/Objectives: • Students will learn and apply geometric concepts. • Objectives: • Recognize and analyze a conditional statement • Write postulates about points, lines, and planes using conditional statements.
Conditional Statement • A logical statement with 2 parts • 2 parts are called the hypothesis & conclusion • Can be written in “if-then” form; such as, “If…, then…”
Conditional Statement • Hypothesis is the part after the word “If” • Conclusion is the part after the word “then”
Ex: Underline the hypothesis & circle the conclusion. • If you are a brunette, then you have brown hair. hypothesis conclusion
Ex: Rewrite the statement in “if-then” form • Vertical angles are congruent. If there are 2 vertical angles, then they are congruent. If 2 angles are vertical, then they are congruent.
Ex: Rewrite the statement in “if-then” form • An object weighs one ton if it weighs 2000 lbs. If an object weighs 2000 lbs, then it weighs one ton.
Counterexample • Used to show a conditional statement is false. • It must keep the hypothesis true, but the conclusion false! • It must keep the hypothesis true, but the conclusion false! • It must keep the hypothesis true, but the conclusion false!
Ex: Find a counterexample to prove the statement is false. • If x2=81, then x must equal 9. counterexample: x could be -9 because (-9)2=81, but x≠9.
Converse • Switch the hypothesis & conclusion parts of a conditional statement. • Ex: Write the converse of “If you are a brunette, then you have brown hair.” If you have brown hair, then you are a brunette.
