Question: How do we solve logic problems using conditionals?


Answer: I have already stated what a math statement is, but if you don't remember then i shall refresh your memory :)
A mathematical statement is a statement that can be judged to be true or false.
Ok now that we have gone over math statements, lets go over conditional.

A conditional falls under the category of logic in geometry. a conditional is a compound sentence created by putting together two sentences using the words "IF" and "THEN." A conditional is also made up of a hypothesis and a conlusion.

Example:
If I am laughing
then I am having fun
-The hypothesis of this conditional is "i am laughing" and the conclusion is "i am having fun."


NOW YOU TRY! :D


Form a conditional out of the following hypothesis and conclusion:
Hypothesis- it is raining
Conclusion- i will take my umbrella
