  Rewrite the following statement as a      biconditional: "Supplementary angles add up to 180"

• If two angles add up to 180^o then they are supplementary.
• You can't it is conditional.
• Two angles are supplementary if and only if the sum of the measure of the two angles is 180^o.
• If two angles sum does not equal 180^o then they are not supplementary.

Write a definition of congruent angles as a biconditional statement.

• 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.

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.
