Question

If a statement is true, then its negation is ___________.. . . . true. false. cannot be determined

Answer 1

Answer:

If a statement is true, then its negation is false

Explanation:

This is one of the examples of contraposition between sentences where the original statement represents something that is true, for example, " buildings are constructions" is a true statement then its negation "That offices building is not a construction" is a false negation, since it does not matter what kind of material it is made of the term building refers to a construction.

Answer 2

The correct answer cannot be determined. If a statement is true, then its negation cannot be determined because it depends on the statement. Not all negation of a statement that is a fact will be true as well. Some might be false also.
