Please help with math

1. Provide a counterexample for the statement in parentheses. (1 point)“If a figure has four sides, then it is a square”

2. Identify the hypothesis of the statement in parentheses. (1 point)“If two angles form a linear pair, then they are adjacent and supplementary.”

3. Identify the conclusion of the statement in parentheses. (1 point)“If two angles form a linear pair, then they are adjacent and supplementary.

4. Write the statement in parentheses as a biconditional. (1 point)“If two angles form a linear pair, then they are adjacent and supplementary.”

Sequences VariablesA variable is a symbol that represents a number. Usually we use letters such as n, t, or x for variables. For example, we might say that s stands for the side-length of a square. We now treat s as if it were a number we could use. The perimeter of the square is given by 4 × s. The area of the square is given by s× s. When working with variables, it can be helpful to use a letter that will remind you of what the variable stands for: let n be the number of people in a movie theater; let t be the time it takes to travel somewhere; let d be the distance from my house to the park. ExpressionsAn expression is a mathematical statement that may use numbers, variables, or both.Example:The following are examples of expressions:2x3 + 72 × y + 52 + 6 × (4 - 2)z + 3 × (8 - z)
