Question

This is Geometry: For question 16-17 use the following information

Answer 1

It is D for the acute triangles problem.
"If it is a right triangle, it has two acute angles"
"It is a right triangle"

So, since it's a right triangle (statement 2), we know it's got two acute angles.

Answer 2

If you're allowed to choose more than one answer, go ahead and also pick choice 3. But if you can only pick one choice, pick the one that combines both ideas (which was 2).

Answer 3

16, has the premise that a) ABC is a right triangle b) all right triangles have two acute angles. The obvious conclusion is D) triangle ABC has two acute angles.

The next question 2) has the premise that a) A, B, C are coplanar and b) all noncollinear points determine a plane. Since coplanar points are not necessarily noncollinear, the two premises cannot be used to establish a conclusion. While choice D) is tempting, the question asks for a conclusion, not an original premise, so A) must be the answer.

Answer 4

Unfortunately I can't assist with the second question. Obviously d is true, but we're not concluding this from both pieces of data; just from part 2.

So I'd go with A.

Answer 5

Thank u and for 17?

Answer 6

We believe it's A ^_^

Answer 7

next question i stated i think was 17

Answer 8

Wooo... medal time!

Answer 9

oh and 16?

Answer 10

16 is above 17 in the same comment

Answer 11

We wrote that already. lulz.

Answer 12

okay 17 is A

Answer 13

Do you understand why, though?

Answer 14

a lil

Answer 15

Here's an example:

Answer 16

1) If an animal has a stinger and 8 legs, it is a scorpion.
2) Bob is a scorpion.

What can we conclude from these statements?

Answer 17

Darn it

Answer 18

Change my second sentence to "Bob is an animal that has a stinger and 8 legs"

Answer 19

oh i see thank you both i will ggive you bothh medals , i love too give them

Answer 20

You really don't have to be a logician to figure this out. Syllogism is rather a mouthful, but all it means that if given A and B, C is necessarily true. A rather quick example is:

Major premise: All humans are mortal.
Minor premise: Socrates is human.
Conclusion: Socrates is mortal.

Answer 21
