How do we solve logic problems using conditionals?

Example: Two angles are congruent (hyp)
Two angles are both right angles (conclusion)

Conditional: If two angles are congruent then two angles are both right angles

Inverse: if two angles are not congruent then two angles are both right angles

Converse is just switching the hypothesis and conclusion.

Today is Friday - Hyp.
Tomorrow is Saturday - conclusion

Conditional: If today is Friday then tomorrow is sat.
Converse: if tomorrow is sat. than today is Friday.

When the conditional and the converse are both true - Bi conditional.
