**Determine Equivalence of Logical Statements Using Truth Tables**

To determine whether the two statements \( p \rightarrow q \) and \( q \rightarrow p \) are equivalent, we can use truth tables.

### Construct a Truth Table for \( p \rightarrow q \):

| p   | q   | \( p \rightarrow q \) |
|-----|-----|-----------------------|
| T   | T   |                       |
| T   | F   |                       |
| F   | T   |                       |
| F   | F   |                       |

### Construct a Truth Table for \( q \rightarrow p \):

| p   | q   | \( q \rightarrow p \) |
|-----|-----|-----------------------|
| T   | T   |                       |
| T   | F   |                       |
| F   | T   |                       |
| F   | F   |                       |

### Are the statements equivalent?

- ☐ The statements are equivalent.
- ☐ The statements are not equivalent.

Use the completed truth tables to determine if the statements are equivalent by comparing the values in the columns for \( p \rightarrow q \) and \( q \rightarrow p \). If the values are the same in each corresponding row, the statements are equivalent; otherwise, they are not.
