• Angles are congruent if they have the same size and shape.

• If angles are congruent, then they have the same size and shape.

• Congruent angles are the same.

• Angles are congruent if and only if they have the same size and shape.

Select the conditional statement(s) of the biconditional statement.

Points are collinear if and only if they all lie in one line.

• If collinear points lie in one line, then they are a line.

• If points all lie in one line, then they are collinear.

• Collinear points lie in one line.

• If points are collinear, then they all lie in one line.

Select the conditional statement(s) of the biconditional statement:

Points lie in one plane if and only if they are coplanar.

• Coplanar points lie in one plane.

• If points lie in one plane, then they are coplanar.

• If points are coplanar, then they lie in one plane.

• Planes have coplanar points.

Write the conditional statements as a biconditional statement:

1) If B is between A and C, then AB+BC=AC.

2) If AB+BC=AC, then B is between A and C.

• Segment Addition Postulate

• B is between A and C when AB+BC=AC if and only if Segment Addition Postulate.

• B is between A and C if and only if AB+BC=AC.

Select the counterexample to the conditional statement:

If  $n^{2\ }=\ 5n$  , then  $n=5$ .

•  $n=-5$  

•  $n=0$  

•  $n=5$
