The contrapositive of the statement "If it is an equilateral triangle, then it is an isosceles triangle" is "If it is not an isosceles triangle, then it is not an equilateral triangle." A diagram representing this could include two circles: one labeled "Not Isosceles Triangle" and another labeled "Not Equilateral Triangle." An arrow would point from the "Not Isosceles Triangle" circle to the "Not Equilateral Triangle" circle, indicating the logical implication. This visually conveys the relationship between the two statements in the contrapositive form.
Then it would be a false statement because an isosceles and an equilateral triangle have different geometrical properties as in regards to the lengths of their sides.
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.
The contrapositive of the statement "All journalists are pessimists" is "If someone is not a pessimist, then they are not a journalist." This reformulation maintains the same truth value as the original statement, meaning that if the original statement is true, the contrapositive is also true.
To determine the contrapositive of the statement "If it is an ant, then it is an insect," we first need to rephrase it in logical terms: "If P (it is an ant), then Q (it is an insect)." The contrapositive would be "If not Q (it is not an insect), then not P (it is not an ant)." You would need to analyze Figures A and B to see which one correctly illustrates this relationship.
Contrapositive
The contrapositive would be: If it is not an isosceles triangle then it is not an equilateral triangle.
Then it would be a false statement because an isosceles and an equilateral triangle have different geometrical properties as in regards to the lengths of their sides.

A false statement
If a triangle is isosceles, then it is equilateral. To find the converse of a conditional, you switch the antecedent ("If ____ ...") and consequent ("... then ____."). (Of course, if not ALL isosceles triangles were equilateral, then the converse would be false.)

If a conditional statement is true, then so is its contrapositive. (And if its contrapositive is not true, then the statement is not true).
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.
To determine the contrapositive of the statement "If it is an ant, then it is an insect," we first need to rephrase it in logical terms: "If P (it is an ant), then Q (it is an insect)." The contrapositive would be "If not Q (it is not an insect), then not P (it is not an ant)." You would need to analyze Figures A and B to see which one correctly illustrates this relationship.
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."
