1 - Biconditionals and Definitions -. Plan What You ll Learn To write biconditionals To recognize good definitions... And Why To evaluate definitions of letters used in the American Manual Alphabet, as in Exercises If we go on a picnic, then the sun shines. Writing Biconditionals Vocabulary Tip Connect the conditional and its converse with and. Then compare with the if and only if form.. If three points lie on the same line, then they are collinear. The converse is also true. Three points are collinear if and only if they lie on the same line. Check Skills You ll Need GO for Help When a conditional and its converse are true, you can combine them as a true biconditional. This is the statement you get by connecting the conditional and its converse with the word and. You can write a biconditional more concisely, however, by joining the two parts of each conditional with the phrase if and only if. Writing a Biconditional Consider this true conditional statement. Write its converse. If the converse is also true, combine the statements as a biconditional. Conditional If two angles have the same measure, then the angles are congruent. Converse If two angles are congruent, then the angles have the same measure. The converse is also true. Since both the conditional and its converse are true, you can combine them in a true biconditional by using the phrase if and only if. Biconditional Two angles have the same measure if and only if the angles are congruent. Lesson - Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of each conditional statement.. If x. 0, then x. 5. Hypothesis: x S 0 Conclusion: x S 5. If you live in Milwaukee, then you live in Wisconsin. Hypothesis: You live in Milwaukee. Conclusion: You live in Wisconsin. Write each statement as a conditional. 3. Squares have four sides.. All butterflies have wings. If a figure is a square, then it has four sides. If something is a butterfly, Write the converse of each statement. then it has wings. 5. If the sun shines, then we go on a picnic. See left. 6. If two lines are skew, then they do not intersect. If two lines do not 7. If x =-3, then x 3 =-7. intersect, then they are skew. If x 3 57, then x 53. New Vocabulary biconditional Consider this true conditional statement. Write its converse. If the converse is also true, combine the statements as a biconditional. See left. Conditional If three points are collinear, then they lie on the same line. Lesson - Biconditionals and Definitions 87 Objectives To write biconditionals To recognize good definitions Examples Writing a Biconditional Orthographic Drawing 3 Writing a Definition as a Biconditional Real-World Connection Math Background Whenever a theorem is investigated or proved in geometry, the converse also should be examined. When both a theorem and its converse are true, they can be written as a biconditional. The strict requirement in mathematics that definitions be biconditional is not always followed outside mathematics.

2 . Teach Guided Instruction Teaching Tip Ask: What word with the prefix bi- have you used in this class? the word bisect Connection to Language Arts Discuss the phrase if and only if. Ask students to use each part of the phrase separately in a sentence not related to mathematics. Point out that a statement such as I play soccer only if it is Saturday is equivalent to If I play soccer, then it is Saturday but is not equivalent to If it is Saturday, then I play soccer. Additional Examples. If a number is prime, then it has only two distinct factors, and itself. If a number has only two distinct factors, and itself, then it is prime. You can write a biconditional as two conditionals that are converses of each other. Separating a Biconditional Into Parts Algebra Write two statements that form this biconditional about whole numbers: A number is divisible by 3 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. Here are the two statements. They are converses of each other. If a number is divisible by 3, then the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. If the sum of a number s digits is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3. Write two statements that form this biconditional about integers greater than : A number is prime if and only if it has only two distinct factors, and itself. See left. Key Concepts Summary Biconditional Statements Recognizing Good Definitions A biconditional combines p S q and q S p as p q. Statement Example Symbolic Form You Read It Biconditional An angle is a straight angle p q pif and only if q. if and only if its measure is 80. Consider this true conditional statement. Write its converse. If the converse is also true, combine the statements as a biconditional. If x = 5, then x + 5 = 0. If x ± 5 0, then x 5; x 5 if and only if x ± 5 0. Write the two statements that form this biconditional. Lines are skew if and only if they are noncoplanar. If lines are skew, then they are noncoplanar. If lines are noncoplanar, then they are skew. Polyglobs A Activity: Writing a Definition C B Not polyglobs. Use the examples at the left to identify the figures above that are polyglobs. Figure B is a polyglob.. Write a definition of a polyglob by describing what a polyglob is. Answers may vary. Sample: A polyglob has three fingers and three solid dots. 88 Chapter Reasoning and Proof Advanced Learners L Have students look up three words in a dictionary and explain why the definitions do or do not obey the rules at the top of page 89. English Language Learners ELL Discuss the meaning of the prefix bi-. In a biconditional, two if-then statements (conditionals) must be true: the conditional and its converse. 88 learning style: verbal learning style: verbal

3 Real-World Connection The definitions in a dictionary have to be good definitions. 3. Conditional: If an angle is a right angle, then its measure is 90. Converse: If an angle has measure 90, then it is a right angle. The two statements are true. An angle is a right angle if and only if its measure is 90. For: Biconditionals Activity Use: Interactive Textbook, In geometry you start with undefined terms such as point, line, and plane whose meanings you understand intuitively. Then you use those terms to define other terms such as collinear points. A good definition is a statement that can help you identify or classify an object. A good definition has several important components. A good definition uses clearly understood terms. The terms should be commonly understood or already defined. A good definition is precise. Good definitions avoid words such as large, sort of, and almost. A good definition is reversible. That means that you can write a good definition as a true biconditional. Writing a Definition as a Biconditional Show that this definition of perpendicular lines is reversible. Then write it as a true biconditional. Definition Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect to form right angles. Conditional If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect to form right angles. Converse If two lines intersect to form right angles, then they are perpendicular. The two conditionals converses of each other are true, so the definition can be written as a true biconditional. Biconditional Two lines are perpendicular if and only if they intersect to form right angles. Show that this definition of right angle is reversible. Then write it as a true biconditional. Definition A right angle is an angle whose measure is 90. See left. One way to show that a statement is not a good definition is to find a counterexample. Real-World Connection Language Arts Is the given statement a good definition? Explain. a. An airplane is a vehicle that flies. The statement is not a good definition because it is not reversible. A helicopter is a counterexample. A helicopter is a vehicle that flies, but a helicopter is not an airplane. b. A triangle has sharp corners. The statement is not a good definition because it uses the imprecise word sharp, and it is not reversible. Is the following statement a good definition? Explain. A square is a figure with four right angles. It is not a good definition because a rectangle has four right angles and is not necessarily a square. Lesson - Biconditionals and Definitions 89 Guided Activity We understand intuitively the meanings of some ideas, such as point, line, and plane. Discuss as a class what intuition is and how different experiences can produce different types of intuition. Connection to Law Lawyers and judges use precise definitions every day. For example, when a trial begins, the judge defines legal terms for jury members so that they can understand the law and apply it correctly. Additional Examples 3 Show that this definition of triangle is reversible. Then write it as a true biconditional. A triangle is a polygon with exactly three sides. A polygon is a triangle if and only if it has exactly three sides. Is the following statement a good definition? Explain. An apple is a fruit that contains seeds. No; while the statement is true as a description of an apple, it is not reversible because other fruits contain seeds. Resources Daily Notetaking Guide - L3 Daily Notetaking Guide - Adapted Instruction L Closure Explain the meaning of the word biconditional. Give an example of a biconditional and the two conditional statements that form it. Sample: The prefix bi- indicates that there are two conditionals. For example, the biconditional I eat if and only if I am hungry is formed by the conditional If I am hungry, then I eat and its converse If I eat, then I am hungry. 89
