Biconditional A single true statement that combines a true conditional and its true converse, you can write a biconditional by joining the two parts of each conditional with the phrase if and only if Symbol: 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
Biconditional 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
Writing a Biconditional: To write a biconditional first determine if the what is the converse of the following true conditional. If the converse is true then write a biconditional statement Conditional: If the sum of the measure of two angles is 180, then the two angles are supplementary Converse: If two angles are supplementary, then the sum of the measures of the two angles is 180 Biconditional: Two angles are supplementary if and only if the sum of the measures of the two angles is 180 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
You Try What is the converse of the following conditional, if the converse is true write a biconditional statement If two angles have equal measures, then the angles are congruent 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
You Try Solution: Biconditional If two angles have equal measures, then the angles are congruent Converse: If angles are congruent, then they have equal measures Biconditional Two angles have equal measures if and only if they are congruent 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
Identifying the Parts: 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
Identifying the conditionals in a Biconditional: What are the two statements that form a biconditional A ray is an angle bisector if and only if it divides and angle into two congruent angles Find p and q 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
Identifying the conditionals in a Biconditional: A ray is an angle bisector if and only if it divides and angle into two congruent angles P – A ray is an angle bisector Q – A ray divides an angle into two congruent angles Conditional: If a ray is an angle bisector, then it divides the angle into two congruent angles Converse: If a ray divides and angle into two congruent angles, then it is an angle bisector 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
You Try! What are the two conditionals that form this biconditional? Two numbers are reciprocals if and only if their product is one. 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
You Try Solution: Conditional: If two numbers are reciprocals, Two numbers are reciprocals if and only if their product is one. Conditional: If two numbers are reciprocals, then their product is one Converse: If two numbers product is one, then they are reciprocals. 2.3 Biconditionals and Definitions
