Question

To begin an indirect proof you assume the converse of what you intend to prove is true

Answer 1

false

Explanation:

statement: if apple, than it is fruit

converse: if fruit, than it is apple (not always true)

The converse statement is sometimes true sometimes not

Answer 2

False. The converse may be either true or false, depending on what the original statement is, so assuming the converse would be pointless.
