Question

which of the diagrams below represents the statement \if it is a square, then it is a rectangle\? figure a figure b a. figure a b. figure b

Explanation:

The statement "If it is a square, then it is a rectangle" means all squares are rectangles. So the set of squares should be a subset of the set of rectangles. In Figure A, the circle representing squares is inside the circle representing rectangles, which correctly shows the subset - relationship. In Figure B, the relationship is reversed.

Answer:
