For p→qp\to q: converse is q→pq\to p, inverse is ∼p→∼q\sim p\to\sim q, contrapositive is ∼q→∼p\sim q\to\sim p.

Let pp: "an angle is a right angle", and qq: "its measure is 90∘90^\circ". The given statement is p→qp\to q.

Converse (q→pq \to p):

If the measure of an angle is 90∘, then it is a right angle.\text{If the measure of an angle is } 90^\circ\text{, then it is a right angle.}

Inverse (∼p→∼q\sim p \to \sim q):

If an angle is not a right angle, then its measure is not 90∘.\text{If an angle is not a right angle, then its measure is not } 90^\circ.

Contrapositive (∼q→∼p\sim q \to \sim p):

If the measure of an angle is not 90∘, then it is not a right angle.\text{If the measure of an angle is not } 90^\circ\text{, then it is not a right angle.}
