Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains a table asking whether certain statements are the negation of the following statement:
Original statement: "It is not the case that I am drawing a triangle."
Let's break down the statements:
-
"I am not drawing a rectangle."
- This statement is not related to triangles. It speaks about not drawing a rectangle, which does not negate the original statement about triangles.
- Negation? No.
-
"I am drawing a circle."
- This statement asserts drawing a circle, which does not relate to triangles. Therefore, it is not a negation of the original statement.
- Negation? No.
-
"I am drawing a triangle."
- This is the opposite (negation) of the original statement, which says, "It is not the case that I am drawing a triangle." If this statement is true, then the original statement would be false.
- Negation? Yes.
-
"It is not the case that I am drawing a circle."
- This statement is about not drawing a circle, which is unrelated to the original statement about triangles.
- Negation? No.
