You may need to zoom out to see all of the items. You can also place each item from the left column by selecting it (click it) then selecting (clicking on) the category for it.

  • If a polygon is not a triangle, then the sum of the measures of its angles is not 180.
  • a polygon is a triangle
  • the sum of the measures of its angles is 180
  • If the sum of the measures of the angles of a polygon is not 180, then the polygon is not a triangle.
  • If the sum of the measures of the angles of a polygon is 180, then the polygon is a triangle.
  • Hypothesis
  • Conclusion
  • Converse
