2.3 – Apply Deductive Reasoning

Deductive Reasoning: Law of Detachment: Law of Syllogism: Using facts, definitions, and logic to form a statement If the hypothesis is true, then conclusion is also true p  q q  r p  r If these are true, then this is true

1.Use the law of detachment to make a valid conclusion in the situation. If you get a hit, then your baseball team will win. You hit a home run. Your baseball team will win

1.Use the law of detachment to make a valid conclusion in the situation. Any time Kendra runs in a cross country race, if she runs a strong race, then she wins. In the cross country race last Saturday, Kendra ran her best race. Kendra wins

1.Use the law of detachment to make a valid conclusion in the situation. If Rylee gets promoted, then Callie will also be promoted. Rylee is promoted. Callie is promoted

2. Use the law of syllogism to make a statement that follows from the pair of statements that are given. If Moose is hungry when he goes to the pizza shop, then he’ll finish a whole pizza. If Moose eats a whole pizza, then he goes through a pitcher of soda. If Moose is hungry when he goes to the pizza shop, then he goes through a pitcher of soda

2. Use the law of syllogism to make a statement that follows from the pair of statements that are given. If you mail the payment by noon, then it will arrive by tomorrow. If your payment arrives by tomorrow, then you won’t be charged a late fee. If you mail the payment by noon, then you won’t be charged a late fee.

2. Use the law of syllogism to make a statement that follows from the pair of statements that are given. If a triangle has two angles of 60°, then the triangle is equiangular. If a triangle is equiangular, then it is also equilateral. If a triangle has two angles of 60°, then it is equilateral.

3. State whether the argument is valid. Jeff knows that if he does not do his chores in the morning, he will not be allowed to play video games later that same day. Jeff does not do his chores. So Jeff did not play video games. Valid

2.4 – Use Postulates and Diagrams

MeaningIFTHEN Post 5 Post 6 Through any two distinct points there exists exactly one line. A line contains at least two points.

MeaningIFTHEN Post 7 Post 8 Through any 3 noncollinear points there exists exactly one plane. A plane contains at least 3 noncollinear points.

MeaningIFTHEN Post 9 Post 10 If 2 distinct points lie in a plane, then the line containing them lies in the plane. If 2 distinct planes intersect, their intersection is a line.

1. State the postulate illustrated by the diagram Through any 3 noncollinear points, there exists exactly one plane

1. State the postulate illustrated by the diagram A line contains at least two points.

2. Can the statement be assumed by the diagram? B, C, and D are collinear No

2. Can the statement be assumed by the diagram? no

2. Can the statement be assumed by the diagram? No

2. Can the statement be assumed by the diagram? Yes, vertical angles

2. Can the statement be assumed by the diagram? and are a linear pair Yes, are a straight line

3. Sketch a diagram showing the given information. Two planes intersect to form a line

3. Sketch a diagram showing the given information. 3 planes intersect at one point A
