Solve It! Look at the examples of the insects and noninsects below.
How would you complete the following sentence: "If an animal is an insect then..."? Explain your reasoning.

Take Note: Define biconditional.

Take Note: How can you determine if a conditional statement can be written as a biconditional?

Take Note: Provide an example of a biconditional statement.

Problem 1 Got It? What is the converse of the following true conditional? If the converse is also true, rewrite the statements as a biconditional.
If two angles have equal measure, then the angles are congruent.

Problem 2 Got It? What are the two conditionals that form this biconditional?
Two numbers are reciprocals if and only if their product is 1.

Take Note: What are the three important components of a good definition?

Problem 3 Got It? Is the definition of straight angle reversible? If yes, write it as a true biconditional.
A straight angle is an angle that measures 180°.
