Well, honey, let me break it down for you. How about this gem: "If it's raining, then the grass is wet." The conditional statement is false because the grass could be wet for other reasons. But flip it around and you've got yourself a true converse: "If the grass is wet, then it's raining." Just like that, a little logic twist for your day.

One example of a non-mathematical statement that fits this criteria is: "If it is raining, then the grass is wet." This statement has a false conditional statement because the grass could be wet for reasons other than rain. However, the converse statement, "If the grass is wet, then it is raining," is true in most cases, as rain is a common cause of wet grass.

Is The converse of a biconditional statement is always true?

No, not always. It depends on if the original biconditional statement is true. For example take the following biconditional statement:x = 3 if and only if x2 = 9.From this biconditional statement we can extract two conditional statements (hence why it is called a bicondional statement):The Conditional Statement: If x = 3 then x2 = 9.This statement is true. However, the second statement we can extract is called the converse.The Converse: If x2=9 then x = 3.This statement is false, because x could also equal -3. Since this is false, it makes the entire original biconditional statement false.All it takes to prove that a statement is false is one counterexample.


When you change the truth value of a given conditional statement?

by switching the truth values of the hypothesis and conclusion, it is called the contrapositive of the original statement. The contrapositive of a true conditional statement will also be true, while the contrapositive of a false conditional statement will also be false.


is this statement true or falseA biconditional statement combines a conditional statement with its contrapositive.?

false


A biconditional statement combines a conditional statement with its contrapositive. T or F?

False


Write the converse an inverse and contra-positive of each conditional statement and identify each statement as true or false so If a triangle has a 90 degree angle then it is a right triangle?

Sorry I'm only a seventh grader and i just know that it is TRUE, however, I have no idea what the other things u said are
