Exercise 8 Page 327

Identify the hypothesis and conclusion.

If two lines are perpendicular, then they form right angles.

To write the statement in if-then form, we have to identify the statement's hypothesis and conclusion. In the if-then form, the hypothesis comes after if and the conclusion comes after then. Hypothesis:&If... Conclusion:&then...

The given statement says that Two perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles. Here, we start with having two perpendicular lines and conclude that these form right angles. With this information, we can identify the hypothesis and conclusion. Two perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles. Now we can write the statement in if-then form. If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect to form right angles.
