Metron means “measurement”.

Conditional Statements

If - Then Statements

If this happens, then that will happen

Hypothesis Conclusion
 Example
Statement 1:

Whenever Jiggy goes to the store he buys milk.

Conditional Statement:

If Jiggy goes to the store, then he buys milk.

Hypothesis Conclusion
 Example

Statement 2:

Every time you practice you gain skill.

Conditional Statement:

If you practice every time, then you will gain more skill.

Hypothesis Conclusion
 Example
Statement 3:
If two points lie in a plane, then the line containing them
lies in the plane.

Hypothesis: Two points lie in a plane.

Conclusion: The line containing them lies in a plane.

 Example
Statement 4:

If 2(x+5) = 12, then x=1

Hypothesis: 2 (x+5) = 12

Conclusion: x=1
 Let’s Try this!
Rewrite the given statements into if-then statement form.
1. You can see the stars at night.
If you can see the stars, then it is night.

2. A bicycle has two wheels.

If it is a bicycle, then it has two wheels.

3. A quadrilateral is a polygon.
If a figure is a quadrilateral, then it is a polygon.

4. A prime number has 1 and itself as factors.

If a number is a prime, then it is a polygon.

5. A square is a rectangle.
If a figure is a square, then it is a rectangle.
 Conditional statements has varied forms

Consider Statement: If p, then q.

Converse statement: If q, then p

Inverse statement: If not p, then not q
Contrapositive: If not q, then not p
 Converse of a conditional statement:
If q, then p.

Example
Conditional statement: If ∠ A = 90, then ∠ A is a right angle.

Converse: If ∠ A is a right triangle, then ∠ A = 90.

 Converse of a conditional statement:
If q, then p.

Example
Conditional statement: The intersection of two distinct
planes is a line.

Converse: If the intersection of two figure is a line, then the

figure are two distinct planes.
 Inverse of a conditional statement:
If not p, then not q.

Example
Conditional statement: If m∠ A < 90, then ∠ A is an
acute angle.

Inverse: If m∠ A is not 90, then ∠ A is not an acute

angle.
 Inverse of a conditional statement:
If not p, then not q.

Example
Conditional statement: If two distinct lines intersect, then they
intersect at one point.

Inverse: If two distinct lines do not intersect, then they do not

intersect at a point.
 Inverse of a conditional statement:
If not p, then not q.

Example
Conditional statement: If a figure is a square, then it is
not a circle.

Inverse: If a figure is a circle, then it is not a square.

 Contrapositive of a conditional statement

Example
Conditional statement: If m∠ A+ m∠ B = 90, then ∠ A
and ∠ B are complementary.

Inverse : If m∠ A + m∠ B is not equal to 90, then ∠ A

and ∠ B are not complementary.

Contrapositive: If ∠ A and ∠ B are not complementary,

then m∠ A and m ∠ B ≠ 90.
 Contrapositive of a conditional statement

Example

Conditional statement: If you are in La Granja, then you are in

Bukidnon.

Inverse: If you are not in La Granja, then you are not in Bukidnon.

Contrapositive: If you are not in Bukidnon, then you are not in La

Granja.
Recall

Statement: A circle is not a polygon.

C.S: If a figure is a circle, then it’s not a polygon

Inverse: If a figure is not a circle, then it is a polygon.

Contrapositive: If a figure is a polygon, then it is not a

circle.
