What does contrapositive mean?
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!
What is the contrapositive of the statement below?
The concept of contrapositive comes from here. A implies B is equivalent to not B implies not A. Prove by contrapositive means instead of proving condition A leads to B, show that if B fails also cause A to fail.

What are contrapositive statements?
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."D.If I will not purchase a nonstop flight, then I cannot afford the airfare..:BAByLOKA:.
