Vocabulary Review: Consider the conditional statement below and categorize each of the items.
If a polygon is a triangle, then the sum of the measures of its angles is 180.
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 the sum of the measures of the angles of a polygon is 180, then the polygon is a triangle.
the sum of the measures of its angles is 180
If a polygon is not a triangle, then the sum of the measures of its angles is not 180.
If the sum of the measures of the angles of a polygon is not 180, then the polygon is not a triangle.
