Definition

A conditional statement is a logical statement that has two parts: a hypothesis and a conclusion.

Description

Conditional statements are foundational in logic and mathematics, forming the basis of proofs and logical reasoning. In geometry, they are used to express relationships between different geometric properties. For example, "If a figure is a square, then it has four equal sides" is a conditional statement. Understanding conditional statements is crucial for developing logical thinking and problem-solving skills in mathematics.
