Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
Write a symbolic statement of the given compound statement below:
4. If a polygon is not a triangle, then it does not have three sides.
---
**Explanation:**
This task involves translating the compound statement into symbolic logic. The original statement presents a conditional relationship between two propositions:
- Proposition p: A polygon is not a triangle.
- Proposition q: It does not have three sides.
The symbolic representation for the statement "If p, then q" is written as \( p \rightarrow q \).
Thus, the compound statement "If a polygon is not a triangle, then it does not have three sides" can be symbolically represented as:
\( p \rightarrow q \)
Where:
- \( p \) is "a polygon is not a triangle"
- \( q \) is "it does not have three sides"
