I. Title: EQUIVALENCE OF THE STATEMENT

II. Learning Competencies: Illustrates the equivalences of: (a) the statement
and its contrapositive; and (b) the converse and inverse of a statement.
(Quarter 2 Week 8_M8GE-IIg-2)
 Determine the truth value of the conditional statements.
 Illustrate the equivalence of the statements.
 Create an example of equivalent statements.
III. Instructions: The following activities focused on illustrating the equivalences
of the statements and its contrapositive, converse and inverse. This will also
help you determine the equivalent of the statements. Below are some
activities in regards to this topic. Read and follow the directions carefully.
IV. Activities

Guide: Logical equivalence occurs when two statements have the same truth value.
As you go on through this activity, you will learn how to determine when two
statements have the same meaning and are logically equivalent.

Activity 1

Directions: Complete the truth table below.

Conditional Converse Inverse Contrapositive

Statement
p q p --> q ~p ~q q --> p ~p --> ~q ~q --> ~p
T T T
T F F
F T T
F F T
Note that the implication is always true except in the case that p is true and q is
false.

Activity 2

M8GE-IIg-2
Direction: Write the converse, inverse and contrapositive of the following
statements in the table below and determine whether each statement is true or false.
Write T if true and F if false.

Example: T or F
Conditional If a shape is triangle, then it is a polygon. T
Statement:
Converse: If a shape is polygon, then it is a triangle. F

Inverse: If a shape is not a triangle, then it is not a polygon. F

Contrapositive: If a shape is not a polygon, then it is not a triangle. T

5. T or F
Conditional If two angles form a linear pair, then they are
Statement: supplementary.

Activity 3

Directions: Create an example of equivalent statements. Write it in the box provided

below.

Activity 4

Directions: Read the questions and encircle the correct answer.

Example: Select the statement that is logically equivalent to “If all of us are OK, then
all of them are losers.”

A. If all of them are losers, then all of us are OK.

B. Some of us are OK and all of them are losers.

C. If some of them aren’t losers, then some of us aren’t OK.

D. If some of us aren’t OK, then some of them aren’t losers

Note: The direct statement is equivalent to contrapositive and the converse is equivalent
to inverse. However, the converse is NOT equivalent to the direct statement and the
inverse is NOT equivalent to the direct statement.

2.Select the statement that is logically equivalent to "If you are a duck, then you
aren't willing to waltz." (Adapted from Lewis Carrol.)

A. If you aren't willing to waltz, then you are a duck.

B. If you aren't a duck, then you are willing to waltz.
