Question

  1. what is the converse of the following statement? if m is the midpoint of \\( \overline { p q } \\), then \\( \overline { p m } \\) is congruent to \\( \overline { q m } \\). if m is the midpoint of \\( \overline { p q } \\), then \\( \overline { p m } \\) is congruent to \\( \overline { q m } \\). if \\( \overline { p m } \\) is not congruent to \\( \overline { q m } \\), then m is not the midpoint of \\( \overline { p q } \\). if \\( \overline { p m } \\) is congruent to \\( \overline { q m } \\), then m is the midpoint of \\( \overline { p q } \\). if m is not the midpoint of \\( \overline { p q } \\), then \\( \overline { p m } \\) is not congruent to \\( \overline { q m } \\)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The converse of a conditional statement "If \(p\), then \(q\)" is "If \(q\), then \(p\)". Here, \(p = M\) is the midpoint of \(\overline{PQ}\) and \(q=\overline{PM}\) is congruent to \(\overline{QM}\).

Answer:

If \(\overline{PM}\) is congruent to \(\overline{QM}\), then \(M\) is the midpoint of \(\overline{PQ}\) (the third option).
