Answer 1

a. It is a pentagon.
is the answer.

Answer 2

The conclusion of the conditional statement is that it is a pentagon. (Option A)

• Option A is the proper conclusion of the conditional statement since it is the only statement with full validity among the sentences.
• "If a convex polygon has five sides, it is a pentagon," says the supplied statement. Looking at this sentence, it is clear that the convex polygon is a pentagon.
• A convex polygon does not have to have five sides or not have any sides at all. It is essentially the statement's hypothesis rather than the conclusion.
• The statement's conclusion is that it is a pentagon. As a result, option A is the proper response to the question.
