Answer:

Contrapositive: if a polygon does not have more than 3 sides, then it is a triangle. Since it is a true statement, the contrapositive is a true statement, the original statement must be a true statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original statement: if a polygon has more than three sides, then it is not a triangle.

Let P = a polygon has more than three sides

Let Q = it is not a triangle

Conditional statement: If P, then Q

Contrapositive statement: if not P, then not Q.

If a conditional statement is true, then the contrapositive is true.

If a contrapositive statement is true, then the contrapositive is true

Show that the statement is true. If GH has endpoints G(−2, 1) and H(4, −1), then the midpoint M of GH lies on the line y = −x +
Alex777 [14]
Midpoint = (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2)/2
(-2,1)....x1 = -2 and y1 = 1
(4,-1)...x2 = 4 and y2 = -1
time to sub
m = (-2 + 4) / 2 , (1 + (-1) / 2
m = (2/2), (0/2)
m = (1,0) <==

y = -x + 1.....(1,0)...x = 1 and y = 0
0 = -1 + 1
0 = 0 (correct)

so the midpoint  M (1,0) lies on the line since its coordinates satisfy the equation <===
