Math Problem Statement

Write as a biconditional statement: P: ∠A and ∠B form a linear pair. Q: ∠A and ∠B are adjacent angles.

Solution

The question asks to write a biconditional statement based on the provided propositions:

  • P: ∠A and ∠B form a linear pair.
  • Q: ∠A and ∠B are adjacent angles.

Biconditional Statement

A biconditional statement combines two logical statements with "if and only if," meaning both directions of implication must hold true.

Answer: ∠A and ∠B form a linear pair if and only if ∠A and ∠B are adjacent angles.

Tip:

To test a biconditional statement, verify both the forward ("if P, then Q") and backward ("if Q, then P") directions of the logic!
