Question

Write a conditional statement from each given statement. Congruent segments have equal measures.

Answer 1

Answer:

Our conditional statement should be written as:

'If they are congruent segments, then they have equal measures'.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about conditional statements, it means we are about the statements which should contain 'if' and 'then'.

• We need to recognize the hypothesis - conditions - and the conclusion - result - in the sentence. Then we should mention it as an 'if', and 'then' statement.

In our example, our hypothesis must be 'if they are congruent segments' and the conclusion should be 'then they have equal measures'.

Therefore, we conclude that our conditional statement should be written as:

'If they are congruent segments, then they have equal measures'.
