Answer 1

Just another logic question. Read the choices. Can you say she drew a right triangle? Can you say she drew a scalene triangle?

Answer 2

i think it's B cause it can be concluded..

Answer 3

I drew a triangle today.

Do you know if my triangle is a right triangle?

Answer 4

umm lol no

Answer 5

Then you can't say Beth's triangle is a right triangle.

Answer 6

ohhh so maybe D then?

Answer 7

Can you say that she drew a polygon with 3 sides?

Answer 8

ummm idk, i really don't get this

Answer 9

>_> She drew a triangle.

We know that triangles have 3 sides.

So we know that she drew a polygon with 3 sides.

Answer 10

Therefore, yes. D is our answer. We cannot conclude A or B. There isn't enough information.
C is false because we know she drew a triangle.

So, D is our answer because it is true that we can't tell if she drew a right triangle.

Answer 11

wow ok thanks for your help, sorry for being so slow lol, maths my worst nightmare..

Answer 12

Logic is more of a general subject than a math subject. It just goes with reading and comprehending the information and being able to make inferences and statements about what you have read.

Answer 13
