Question

In Exercises 3-6, copy the conditional statement. Underline the hypothesis and circle the conclusion. 3. If a polygon is a pentagon, then it has five sides. 4. If two lines form vertical angles, then they intersect. 5. If you run, then you are fast. 6. If you like math, then you like science.

Answer 1

Conditional statement also known an if-then statement is of the form;

`\text{If p},\text{ then q}`

where;

p = hypothesis

q = conclusion

Hypothesis is the group of words that comes after the word "IF" in a conditional statement.

While The Conclusion is the group of words that comes after the word "Then" in a conditional statement.

With this explanation, let us proceed to answer the question.

3. If a polygon is a pentagon, then it has five sides.

Hypothesis = a polygon is a pentagon

Conclusion = it has five sides.

4. If two lines form vertical angles, then they intersect.

Hypothesis = two lines form vertical angles

Conclusion = they intersect.

5. If you run, then you are fast

Hypothesis = you run

Conclusion = you are fast

6. If you like math, then you like science.​

Hypothesis = you like math

Conclusion = you like science.​
