If both the conditional statement and its converse are true, the statements can be combined to be written as a/an
biconditional statement.
If both the conditional statement and its converse are true, the statements can be combined to be written as a biconditional statement.
To combine a conditional statement and its converse when both are true, we can write a biconditional statement.
A biconditional statement is a combination of a conditional statement (if-then) and its converse (then-if), and it uses the phrase "if and only if" to express that both statements are true.
Here's an example:
Conditional statement: If it is raining, then the ground is wet.
Converse: If the ground is wet, then it is raining.
Combined biconditional statement: It is raining if and only if the ground is wet.
Note that the biconditional statement is true only if both the conditional statement and its converse are true.
