Given the biconditional: Two lines are perpendicular if and only if they intersect at right angles. Write the conditional statement that could be written from the biconditional. What is the converse of that conditional statement?

• A. Conditional statement: If two lines intersect at right angles, then they are perpendicular. Converse: If two lines are not perpendicular, then they do not intersect at right angles.

• B. Conditional statement: If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect at right angles. Converse: If two lines do not intersect at right angles, then they are not perpendicular.

• C. Conditional statement: If two lines intersect at right angles, then they are perpendicular. Converse: If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect at right angles.

• D. Conditional statement: If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect at right angles. Converse: If two lines intersect at right angles, then they are perpendicular.

• If two line-segments are congruent, then they have the same length.

• If two line-segments are not congruent, then they don’t have the same length.

• Two line-segments have the same length if and only if they are congruent segments.

• Two line-segments do not have the same length if and only if they are not congruent segments.

Rewrite the following definition as a biconditional statement. Definition: The midpoint of a segment is the point that divides the segment into two congruent segments.

• If a point is not the midpoint of a segment, then the point doesn’t divide the segment into two congruent segments.

• A point is the midpoint of a segment if and only if the point divides the segment into two congruent segments.

• If a point divides the segment into two congruent segments, then the point is the midpoint.

• A point divides the segment into two congruent segments if and only if the point is the midpoint.

The Isosceles Triangle Theorem states: “A triangle is isosceles if and only if it has at least two congruent sides.” Which of the following statements correctly rewrite this biconditional statement as two conditional statements? Select all that apply.

• If a triangle is not isosceles, then it does not have at least two congruent sides.

• If a triangle does not have at least two congruent sides, then it is not isosceles.

• If a triangle is isosceles, then it has at least two congruent sides.

• If a triangle has at least two congruent sides, then it is isosceles.

• If a triangle has exactly two congruent sides, then it is always isosceles.

The Triangle Midsegment Theorem states: "If a segment joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, then it is parallel to the third side and half its length." Which of the following represents the converse of this theorem?

• If a segment is parallel to the third side of a triangle and is half its length, then it joins the midpoints of two sides.

• If a segment joins two midpoints of a triangle, then it is not parallel to the third side.

• If a segment is parallel to one side of a triangle, then it divides the other two sides into equal parts.

• If a segment is half the length of one side of a triangle, then it must be a midsegment.
