What is the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the following theorem/statement ?

"If a line bisects the vertex angle of an iscosceles triangle, then it is the perpendicular bisector of the base."

Also, identify each statement as true or false.

a statement: if p then q

a converse: if q then p

an inverse: if not p then not q

acontrapositive: if not q then not p

I still need to know if they are true or false.
