question 6 of 10
which of the diagrams below represents the contrapositive of the statement \if it is a triangle, then it has three vertices\?
figure a
figure b
a. figure a
b. figure b

Explanation:

The contrapositive of the statement "If it is a triangle, then it has three vertices" is "If it does not have three vertices, then it is not a triangle". In a Venn - diagram representation for the contrapositive, the set of things that do not have three vertices should be the outer set and the set of non - triangles should be the inner set. Figure B represents this relationship.

Answer:

B. Figure B
