The Biconditional,

Inverse, Converse, and

Contrapositive
Here is where your presentation begins

Statements
 Converse Statement
● A converse statement is form when
the hypothesis (p) and conclusion (q)
are interchanged.
● For instance the converse of p → q is
q → p (read as “If q, then p” or q
implies p.
 Example
Conditional Statement:
p q
If a figure has four sides, then the figure is
quadrilateral.
True
Converse:
If a figure is quadrilateral, then the figure has four
sides. True
 Example
Conditional Statement:
p q
If you are a lawyer, then you passed the bar exam.
True
Converse:

If you passed the bar exam, then you are a lawyer.

True
 Example
Conditional Statement:
q
p
If you eat vegetables, then you are healthy.
True
Converse:
If you are healthy, then you eat vegetables.
True
 Biconditional Statement

Since both conditional and converse

statements are true, you can connect the phrases by
“if and only if” (iff). Thus, it forms biconditional
statements. The words “if and only if” implies that
both conditional and converse
statements are true.
 Example
Conditional Statement: If a figure has four sides,
then the figure is quadrilateral.
True
Converse: If a figure is quadrilateral, then the
figure has four sides.
True
Biconditional Statement: A figure has four sides
if and only if the figure is quadrilateral
 Example
Conditional Statement: If you are a lawyer, then
you passed the bar exam.
True
Converse: If you passed the bar exam, then you are
a lawyer.
True
Biconditional Statement: You are a lawyer if and
only if you passed the bar exam.
 Example
Conditional Statement: If I eat lunch, then my
mood will improve.
True
Converse: If my mood improves, then I will eat
lunch.
True
Biconditional Statement: I will eat lunch if and
only if my mood improves.
 Biconditional Statement
Biconditional Statement: Two angles are
complementary if and only if the sum of their
measure is 90ͦ
Conditional Statement: If two angles are
complementary, then the sum of their measure is 90ͦͦ
Converse Statement: If the sum of the measures
of two angles is 90ͦ , then they are complementary.
 Inverse & Contrapositive
An inverse statement can be formed by
negating the hypothesis and the conclusion of the
conditional statement. For instance, the inverse of p
→ q is ~p → ~q(If not p, then not q).

When you negate the converse statement, you

form a contrapositive statement. For instance, the
inverse of q → p is ~q → ~p(If not p, then not q).
 Inverse & Contrapositive
Example 1: A polygon with exactly 4 sides is a
quadrilateral.
Conditional If a polygon has exactly four sides, then it is a
quadrilateral.
Inverse If a polygon does not have exactly 4 sides; then it is
not a quadrilateral.
Converse If a polygon is quadrilateral, then it has exactly 4
sides.
Contrapositiv If a polygon is not a quadrilateral, then it does not
e have exactly 4 sides.
 Inverse & Contrapositive
Example 2: Two line segments of equal length are
congruent.
Conditional If two line segments are equal in length, then they
are congruent
Inverse If two line segments are not equal in length, then
they are not congruent.
Converse If two lines segments are congruent, then they have
equal lengths.
Contrapositiv If two line segments are not congruent, then their
e lengths are not equal.
