Lets begin with an OGT question….

The graph as shown represents the amount of money Sarah can earn at her part-time job

Which of the following equations best represents the relationship between Sarah’s pay and the hours she works?

A. y = 4xB. y = 6.5xC. y = 4x + 10D. y = 6.5x + 10

If-Then Statements

Hypothesis – If statement

Conclusion – Then statement

Identify the Hypothesis and Conclusion:◦ If two lines are parallel, then they are coplanar

Identify the Hypothesis and Conclusion:◦ If two lines are parallel, then they are coplanar◦ Hypothesis: Two lines are parallel◦ Conclusion: They are coplanar

Write the statement as a conditional◦ An acute angle measures less than 90º

Identify the Hypothesis and Conclusion:◦ If two lines are parallel, then they are coplanar◦ Hypothesis: Two lines are parallel◦ Conclusion: They are coplanar

Write the statement as a conditional◦ An acute angle measures less than 90º◦ If an angle is acute, then it measures less than 90

The converse of a conditional statement if formed by exchanging the hypothesis and the conclusion in the conditional.

Example 3:◦ Conditional- If a figure is a triangle, then it has

three angles.

◦ Converse- If a figure has three angles, then it is a triangle.

Converse

• The converse of a conditional statement is formed by switching the hypothesis and the conclusion in the conditional.

– Conditional- If a figure is a triangle, then it has

three angles.

– Converse- If a figure has three angles, then it is a triangle.

If x = 5, then x + 15 = 20◦ Write the converse:

If x = 5, then x + 15 = 20◦ Write the converse:◦ If x + 15 = 20, then x = 5

◦ Write the Biconditional:

If x = 5, then x + 15 = 20◦ Write the converse:◦ If x + 15 = 20, then x = 5

◦ Write the Biconditional:◦ X = 5 if and only if x + 15 = 20

Write two statements that form this biconditional:◦ Lines are skew if and only if they are noncoplanar

Write two statements that form this biconditional:◦ Lines are skew if and only if they are noncoplanar

◦ If lines are skew, then they are noncoplanar◦ If lines are noncoplanar, then they are skew

If a conditional is true and its hypothesis is true – then its conclusion is true

If p implies q is true and p is true then q is true

Can you make a conclusion?…◦ Every High School student likes music. ◦ Ling likes music

If a conditional is true and its hypothesis is true – then its conclusion is true

If p implies q is true and p is true then q is true

Can you make a conclusion?…◦ Every High School student likes music. Ling

likes music◦ If you are a high school student, then you like

music

If p implies q is true and q implies r is true, then p implies r is true

P Q and QR, then PR

If a quadrilateral is a square, then it contains 4 right angles.If a quadrilateral contains 4 right angles, then it is a rectangle

A gardener knows that if it rains, the garden will be watered.It is raining.

If you want to build a skyscraper, start with a good foundation. The foundation is a concrete form that supports the rest of the structure.

The foundation of geometry is made of statements called postulates. These are accepted as true.
