i dont know what that is but heres how i did it: tia and bianca dont live in westlake so it must be hiroko that lives there. bianca does npt live in parkside so she lives in summerville. and so tia probably lives in parkside

Draw a right triangle. Mark the midpoints of each side of the triangle and draw a smaller triangle by connecting the midpoints. Do this several more times. What can you conclude about the smaller triangle? Did you use inductive or deductive reasoning?

lilai3 · Answer

^help^
please

anonymous · Answer

oh man, im not sure i get what this inductive deductive stuff is though

anonymous · Answer

i mean i guess the smaller triangles perimeter is half of the bigger triagles?

lilai3 · Answer

ya, id din't get that one either.

anonymous · Answer

i think this one is induction

anonymous · Answer

im trying to make sense of it for you by reading some wikipedia lol

anonymous · Answer

Mathematical induction is a method of mathematical proof typically used to establish that a given statement is true for all natural numbers (positive integers). It is done by proving that the first statement in the infinite sequence of statements is true, and then proving that if any one statement in the infinite sequence of statements is true, then so is the next one
