p \rightarrow q

{F_1}(A,\,B,\,C) = \left( {A \wedge \sim B} \right) \vee \left[ { \sim C \wedge \left( {A \vee B} \right)} \right] \vee \sim A

{F_2}(A,\,B) = \left( {A \vee B} \right) \vee (B \to \, \sim \,A)

be two logical expressions. Then, The contrapositive of the following statement, "If the side of a square doubles, then its area increases four times", is : Suppose
