Chapter 2.1, Problem 4CE

To determine

To state: the hypothesis and the conclusion.

Answer to Problem 4CE

Hypothesis is S is the midpoint of $\overline{RT}$ and Conclusion is $RS=\frac{1}{2}RT$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $RS=\frac{1}{2}RT$ if S is the midpoint of $\overline{RT}$ .

Calculation:

Given statement can be written as:

If S is the midpoint of $\overline{RT}$ , then $RS=\frac{1}{2}RT$ .

So, Hypothesis is S is the midpoint of $\overline{RT}$ and Conclusion is $RS=\frac{1}{2}RT$ .
