Question

Need some help with my ut geo course. help!

Writing a geometry proof seems to take a very specific kind of skill along with a specialized vocabulary. But you have seen that geometry proofs are really just arguments that are built using deductive reasoning and logic. Write a few sentences discussing where you think the same kind of reasoning skills used in geometry proofs is applied in professional jobs.

Answer 1

Geometry proofs start with a set of facts and general results from the most basic to complex about such facts. Together it is possible to deduce results about situation that may or may not be obvious on their face.

Here's an example from business:

If a company is making an accounting loss but is steadily reducing working capital requirements through inventory liquidation, then it can still be making positive cash flow and pay out a dividend to stockholders. Buried in the conclusion are certain basic principles ("theorems") about how cash flow is calculated and used: e.g., Dividends can only be paid if a firm has cash on hand.
