A triangle has exactly three sides. Prove the conditional by proving the contrapositive. If a polygon has more than three sides, then it is not a triangle. Contrapositive: If , then . Since , the contrapositive is , the original statement must be .

Contrapositive: if a polygon does not have more than 3 sides, then it is a triangle. Since it is a true statement, the contrapositive is a true statement, the original statement must be a true statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original statement: if a polygon has more than three sides, then it is not a triangle.

Let P = a polygon has more than three sides

Let Q = it is not a triangle

Conditional statement: If P, then Q

Contrapositive statement: if not P, then not Q.

If a conditional statement is true, then the contrapositive is true.

If a contrapositive statement is true, then the contrapositive is true

the answer is 13/48

step-by-step explanation:

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
