Can you explain law of detachment and Syllogism. Also, transitive, reflexive, and symmetric property. @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (staceyg):

@hartnn Can you help?

OpenStudy (danjs):

Sorry just had to look up the syllogism one

OpenStudy (danjs):

IT says, If one thing is true Then another thing is true, so If the first is true you can conclude the second is true

OpenStudy (staceyg):

Thats for syllogism?

OpenStudy (danjs):

Like, If A is true, means B is also True. So if you are given that A is true, You can conclude that B is also True

OpenStudy (danjs):

Example... If it is Snowing outside, It is cold. Today it is snowing outside. You can conclude that it is cold

OpenStudy (danjs):

example: If an angle is obtuse, then it cannot be acute. Angle A is obtuse. Therefore Angle A cannot be acute.

OpenStudy (danjs):

Get it ?

OpenStudy (danjs):

It is a form of deductive reasoning

OpenStudy (danjs):

That was syllogism

OpenStudy (danjs):

Transitive Property is... If a = b and b = c, then a = c

OpenStudy (danjs):

Like in a proof, If angle A = Angle B, and Angle B = Angle C, you can conclude by the transitive property that Angle A = Angle C

OpenStudy (danjs):

Symmetric Property is simply, if A = B then B = A, going in the reverse

OpenStudy (danjs):

Reflexive Property, is just saying something like A = A . Side A = Side A , reflexive property

OpenStudy (staceyg):

Thanks so much. What about law of detachment?

OpenStudy (danjs):

That was the first one i described...law of detachment and syllogism .. one thing

OpenStudy (staceyg):

Alright thanks for the help. :)
