           -If being the hypothesis and then meaning the conclusion.
           - An example of this type of statement would be :

  “If two angles are congruent then they have equal measures.”
          
           -If being “two angles are congruent” and then being “they have equal measures.”

•    Converse Statements: Are defined as switching the hypothesis with the conclusion or q->p
         -To write this type of statement you’d simply write:
            
      “If two angles have equal measures then they are congruent.”

•    Inverse Statements: Are defines as if not hypothesis then not conclusion or ~p->~q
         -An example would be:

     “If two angles are not congruent then they do not have equal measures.”

•    Contrapositive Statements: Have the same truth value as the original statement, and is written as ~q->~p
         -An example would be:
 
     “If two angles do not have equal measures then they are not congruent.”        

•    Biconditional Statements: Both the conditional and its c ...
