Exercise 2 Page 447

One of the statements is not true.

If you are an athlete, then you play soccer. See solution.

Practice makes perfect
Let's evaluate the four given conditional statements, and see if we can find one that is different from the others. &If today is Tuesday, &then tomorrow is Wednesday This is a true statement, since Wednesday comes after Tuesday.

&If it is Independence day, &then it is July Independence day is on the 4th of July, so this is also true. &If an angle is acute, &then its measure is less than90^(∘) An acute angle is defined as between 0^(∘) and 90^(∘). Therefore, this statement is true as well. &If you are an athlete, &then you play soccer This is not a true statement, as you do not have to play soccer to be an athlete. You can, for example, be a tennis player. Since the last statement is not a true statement, it does not belong.
