CONDITIONAL AND BICONDITIONAL STATEMENTS

•Conditional- a conditional
statements written in two parts.
One part begins with “ if” and the
other part begins with “ then”.
•‘ if’ is called the hypothesis
•‘ then’ is called the conclusion
Example
A. Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion in each of the
following statements.
1. If two points lie in a plane, then the line containing them
lies in the same plane.
answer:
hypothesis: Two points lie in a plane
conclusion: The line containing them lies in the
same plane
2. If a figure is a rectangle , then it has a four right
angles.
answer:
hypothesis: A figure is a rectangle
conclusion: It has four right angles
Example B. Write each statement as a conditional

1. An integer that ends with 4 is divisible by 2.

answer:
conditional: If an integer ends with 4, then it is
divisible by 2.
2. A quadrilateral is a polygon.
answer:
conditional: If a figure is a quadrilateral, then it is a
polygon.

The Converse, Inverse, and Contrapositive
of a Conditional Statement
• CONVERSE- to write the converse of a
conditional statement, simply interchange the
hypothesis and the conclusion.
example. 2 is a prime number
Inverse: If a number is prime, then the number is
2.
•Inverse- to write the inverse of a conditional
statement, simply negate both the
hypothesis and conclusion.
example: If two distinct lines intersect, then
they intersect at one point
Inverse: If two distinct line do not intersect,
then they do not intersect at a point
•Contrapositive-to form a
contrapositive of a conditional
statement, first get its inverse then
interchange its hypothesis and
conclusion.
• Example: Write the converse, the inverse and
the contrapositive of the following statements
1.If you are in Sampaloc , then you are in Manila.
Converse: If you are in Manila, then you are in
Sampaloc.
Inverse: If you are not in Sampaloc, then you are
not in Manila.
Contrapositive: If you are not in Manila, then you
are not in Sampaloc.
