Use the conditional statement to answer the question.
If a rectangle is a square, then it has four congruent sides.
What is the converse of the given conditional statement?
1. A square is a rectangle with four congruent sides.
2. If a rectangle has four congruent sides, then it is a square.
3. If a square is a rectangle, then it has four congruent sides.
4. A rectangle that is a square has four congruent sides.
It's not 4, and I don't think it's 1.
It's 2 for sure I just took the test mates.
2 is right
Is definitely 2 :), good luck on that btw
and it's not 1.
You're right, it's not option 4. Option 1 is actually the converse of the given conditional statement. So, the answer is 1. A square is a rectangle with four congruent sides. Keep in mind that the converse statement may or may not be true in all cases!
The converse of the given conditional statement, "If a rectangle is a square, then it has four congruent sides," is option 3: "If a square is a rectangle, then it has four congruent sides."
In a conditional statement, the converse is formed by switching the hypothesis and the conclusion. In this case, the hypothesis is "a rectangle is a square," and the conclusion is "it has four congruent sides." By switching them, we get the converse statement, which states that if a square is a rectangle, then it has four congruent sides.
So, the converse of the given conditional statement is option 3: "If a square is a rectangle, then it has four congruent sides."
