C.______________ If a triangle does not have a ninety degree angle, then it is not a right triangle.
4. If two segments are congruent, then they have the same length.
A.______________ If two segments do not have the same length, then they are not congruent.
B.______________ If two segments are not congruent, then they have the same length.
C.______________ If two segments have the same length, then they are congruent.
5. If a quadrilateral has exactly two congruent sides, then it is not a rhombus.
A.______________ If a quadrilateral does not have exactly two congruent sides, then it is a rhombus.

A.______________ If you don’t fail geometry, then you do your homework.
B.______________ If you fail geometry, then you do not do your homework.
C.______________ You fail geometry if and only if you do not do your homework.
Explain a counter-example to show that each statement is not always true.
Example: “If it is not a weekday, then it is Saturday.” --Sunday is also not a weekday, so it is false.

(a) Find the truth value of each statement. (Is it true or false?) (b) Then write the converse and find
its truth value. (c) If both statements are true, write it as a biconditional using the phrase "if and
only if."

PowerPoint to display this same process with 5 or more ads.*
