Provide a counter example showing the conjecture is false: "If angle A and angle B are supplementary then angle A = 90­­° and angle B = 90°
What is angle A = 50 and angle B = 130
100
What reason justifies the statements: angle 1 and angle 2 are supplementary angle 1 + angle 2 = 180°
What is definition of supplementary angles
100
This is the converse of the statement: If 3 points are on a line then they are collinear.
What is If 3 points are collinear then they are on a line.

What is a logical conclusion to the following statements. If a figure is a square then it is a quadrilateral. If a figure is a quadrilateral then it is a polygon.
What is If a figure is a square then it is a polygon.

Write the statement as a conditional and determine its truth value. An angle less than 90° is an acute angle.
What is If an angle is less than 90° then it is an acute angle. true.

This reason justifies the following statements: ray AB bisects angle CAD angle CAB = angle BAD
What is definition of angle bisectors

For the conditional statement give both its inverse and its contrapositive. If a dog has fleas then it scratches its skin.
What is inverse: If a dog doesn't have fleas then it doesn't scratch its skin. contrapositive: If a dog doesn't scratch its skin then it doesn't have fleas.

angles A + angle B = 180°. If two angles add to 180° then they are supplementary. What conclusion can be made?
What is angles A and angles B are supplementary

Determine if conjecture is true or false. Conjecture: If AB = BC then B is the midpoint.
What is false. Could be two congruent sides of an angle.
300
This reason justifies the statements: AC = AB and AC = CD AB = CD
What is substitution or What is the transitive property

Give the contrapositive of the statement: All triangles are polygons.
What is If a figure is not a polygon then it is not a triangle.

The measure of angle 1 = 5x + 10, the measure of angle 2 = 15x + 20, If angle 1 and angle 2 are complementary what is the measure of angle 2.
What is 65°
400
Write the statement as a conditional. Complementary angles are angles that add to 90°
What is If angles are complementary then they add to 90°

This statement is logically equivalent to the statement: If an angle is not less than 90° then it is not acute.
What is If an angle is acute then it is less than 90°

If an animal is a cat then it is a feline. If an animal is a feline then it is a carnivore. conclusion: If an animal is not a carnivore then it is not a cat. Is this conclusion valid? Why or why not.
What is yes, because it is the contrapositive of the original conclusion
