Answer 4

any ideas? remember, you can only use the information inside the problem.

Answer 5

i guess that is about indirect prove? am i right

Answer 6

nope

Answer 7

i got the 3rd one

Answer 8

remember you're looking for

if A then B
if B then C

if A then C

format

Answer 9

the dog one is not correct because it doesn't tell us whether a dog is an animal or not

Answer 10

im debating between the 3rd and 4th

Answer 11

yes so i assume you are right picking C because the others make no sense and can be prove by using the False Assumption

Answer 12

it's either the third or fourth

Answer 13

we just proved that the third is incorrect

Answer 14

second one is wrong because a rectangle can not be a square

Answer 15

so it must be the fourth one

Answer 16

actually, rectangles can be squares, but not by the reasoning in the problem

Answer 17

and 1st is wrong because not just fish have fins and can swim

Answer 18

remember: you can only use the information inside the problem. you are not allowed to bring in outside knowledge

Answer 19

i tought rectangles cant be squares but a square can be a rectangle

Answer 20

all squares are rectangles

Answer 21

its the 4th one

Answer 22

therefore, a rectangle with 4 equal sides is a square

Answer 23

yes, the fourth one is correct

Answer 24

i believe it can be the fourth because in the 2nd statement if a number is divisible by 6 then it is divisible by 2 and that is correct and the 3rd statement is also correct so yeah that is indirect proof and that is correct

Answer 25

thanks

Answer 26

All you needed to do was pay close attention to what vocaloid said.. it doesn't look at all like you were.

if A then B
if B then C

if A then C

The statement could say:
If all mice are elephants
If all elephants are platypuses
If it is a mouse, then it is a platypus

It's that easy.
