Question

write the following statement in the if-then form. a side of a square measures 3 feet if the sides measure is 36 inches. choose the correct answer below. a. if the side of a square measures 3 feet, then the side’s measure is 36 inches. b. if the side’s measure is 36 inches, then the side of a square measures 3 feet.

Explanation:

The original statement is "A side of a square measures 3 feet if the side’s measure is 36 inches." In "if - then" form, the part following "if" is the hypothesis (the condition) and the other part is the conclusion. So the hypothesis is "the side’s measure is 36 inches" and the conclusion is "a side of a square measures 3 feet". So the correct "if - then" form is "If the side’s measure is 36 inches, then the side of a square measures 3 feet", which corresponds to option B.

Answer:

B. If the side’s measure is 36 inches, then the side of a square measures 3 feet.
