A contrapositive of a conditional is the same conditional, but with the antecedent and consequent swapped and negated. It is logically equivalent to the original statement; it means the same thing. For example, the contrapositive of, "If we all pitch in, we can leave early today," is, "If we don't leave early today, we did not all pitch in."

If p->q, then the law of the contrapositive is that not q -> not p
The converse of an inverse is the contrapositive, which is logically equivalent to the original conditional.
It is the opposite of a statement...kinda... It is used in if then statements. Let me explain: Statement: If cardinals are red, then a dog is a cardinal. The contrapositive of that statement would be: If a dog is not a cardinal, then it is not red. Notice how you switch the order of if and then in the sentence. Then you insert the nots. To make the sentence true of false. I took geometry a while ago, sot his may not be accurate, but I hoped it helped!

The statement "All red objects have color" can be expressed as " If an object is red, it has a color. The contrapositive is "If an object does not have color, then it is not red."

If a conditional statement is true, then so is its contrapositive. (And if its contrapositive is not true, then the statement is not true).

The contrapositive would be: If it is not an isosceles triangle then it is not an equilateral triangle.
