Let r represent: Angle A is a right angle.

Let s represent: Angle B is a right angle.

Which is a symbolic representation of the following argument?

Angle A is a right angle if and only if Angle B is a right angle.

Angle A is a right angle or Angle B is a right angle.

Therefore Angle A is a right angle and Angle B is a right angle.

• If you eat your vegetables, then you can go to the party.

• If you eat your dessert, then you can to the party.

• If you do not eat your vegetables, then you cannot go the party.

• If you do not eat your dessert, then you can go to the party.

Let p represent “Figures are squares,” let q represent “Figures are rectangles,” and let r represent “Figures are rhombi.” Which statements represent the following argument?

• All squares are rectangles.

  ABCD is a square.

  Therefore, ABCD is a rectangle.

• If a figure is a square, then it is a rhombus.

  A figure is a rhombus.

  Therefore, a figure is a square.

• All squares are rhombi.

  ABCD is a square.

  Therefore, ABCD is a rhombus.

• If a square is a rectangle, then it is a rhombus.

  A square is a rectangle.

  Therefore, a square is a rhombus.
