Introduction
If two anglesare verticalangles,then they are congruent.You learnedthis as the VerticalAnglesTheorem.
Can you reversethis statement?Can you swapthe “if” and “then”partsand will the statementstill be true?
Theconverseof a logicalstatementis madeby reversingthe hypothesisand the conclusionin an if-then
statement.Withthe VerticalAnglesTheorem,the converseis “If two anglesare congruentthen they are
verticalangles.”Is that a true statement?In this case,no. The converseof the VerticalAnglesTheoremis
