Question

Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of this conditional statement: If two lines intersect at right angles, then the two lines are perpendicular.
B. Hypothesis: Two lines intersect at right angles. Conclusion: The two lines are perpendicular.
C. Hypothesis: The two lines are not perpendicular. Conclusion: Two lines intersect at right angles.
D. Hypothesis: Two lines intersect at right angles. Conclusion: The two lines are not perpendicular.

Answer 1

Answer:

(B)  

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that In conditional statements, the part after the if is the hypothesis, and the part after then is the conclusion.

Thus, following this condition, the given statement that  If two lines intersect at right angles, then the two lines are perpendicular has the

Hypothesis:Two lines intersect at right angles and

Conclusion: The two lines are perpendicular.

Thus, option B is correct.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Hypothesis: Two lines intersect at right angles. Conclusion: The two lines are perpendicular.

The remaining two are incorrect because one always implies the other, and vice versa. One cannot occur without the other.
