Answer:

p: Point B lies on line segment AC

q: AB + BC = AC

Explanation:

We are given the following conditional statement:

If point B lies on line segment AC, then AB + BC = AC

A conditional statement is usually (although not always) written in the format 'if p, then q', where p is the hypothesis, and q is the conclusion

In our case, our statement is also written in 'if p, then q' format, and we need to identify what p and q are.

As shown earlier, is the hypothesis - these would be all the words after the word 'if', but before 'then'

In the statement given, all the words given after 'if' and before 'then' would be:

If point B lies on line segment AC, then AB + BC = AC

Meaning that p would be 'point B lies on line segment AC'

Meanwhile, q is the conclusion - these are all the words or phrases after the word 'then'

In our statement, all of the things after 'then' are:

If point B lies on line segment AC, then AB + BC = AC

Meaning that q would be 'AB + BC = AC'
