What is the converse of the following statement?

"If the figure is a triangle, then the figure has three sides."

If the figure has three sides, then the figure is a triangle.
If the figure is a triangle, then the figure can have only three sides.
If the figure does not have three sides, then the figure is not a triangle.
If the figure is not a triangle, then the figure does not have three sides.

Answer 1

The converse of a statement is formed by swapping the hypothesis and the conclusion.

For the original statement: "If the figure is a triangle, then the figure has three sides."

The hypothesis is "the figure is a triangle" and the conclusion is "the figure has three sides."

To find the converse, we swap these: "If the figure has three sides, then the figure is a triangle."

So, the correct answer is:

If the figure has three sides, then the figure is a triangle.
