Question 666948: If a square has five sides, than a triangle has three sides.
True or False?
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In any "if p, then q" statement, if p is false, then the statement "if p, then q" is always true regardless of the truth of q.
Here we have a p that is clearly false and a q that is clearly true. So the statement "if p, then q" is true.
"If a square has five sides, than a triangle has eight sides." would also be true even though p and q individually are each false.
