Given the conditional statement ~p -> q which statement is logically equivalent?​

Any implication is logically equivalent to its contrapositive. In other words,

¬<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   ¬<em>q</em> ⇒ <em>p</em>

(¬ means the same thing as ~, "not")

To prove this: recall that

<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   ¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>q</em>

This is because <em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em> is true if <em>p</em> is false, or both <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are true, i.e.

<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   ¬<em>p</em> ∨ (<em>p</em> ∧ <em>q</em>)

Disjunction (∨ or "or") distributes over conjunction (∧ or "and"), so that

<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   (¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>p</em>) ∧ (¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>q</em>)

but ¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>p</em> is always true, or a tautology, so we're just left with ¬<em>p</em> ∨ <em>q</em>.

Then

¬<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>   ⇔   <em>p</em> ∨ <em>q</em>

…   ⇔   <em>q</em> ∨ <em>p</em>

…   ⇔   ¬(¬<em>q</em>) ∨ <em>p</em>

…   ⇔   ¬<em>q</em> ⇒ <em>p</em>

If these two figures are similar what is the measure of the missing side length J?
Ray Of Light [21]
If the long side on both is 9ft and 3ft then 3•3 is 9 so for the short side you do the same. If the short side is 1ft and the other is "j" then it's 1•3 is 3.

1•3=3
Sorry if it's confusing the way I explained it.
