True?

The first statement: All squares are rectangles. That means there does not exist a square that is not a rectangle. If you see a square, you must conclude it is also a rectangle.

But when it is cloudy it does not always rain? So it's invalid?

correct

OpenStudy (rz172):

Thanks! :)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You based your answer on reality. You need to base your answer only on the given statement.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First statement: When it rains, there are clouds in the sky. That means the only thing you can conclude is that if you see rain, then it must be cloudy. If you see rain, then you can conclude there are clouds. You cannot start from the clouds and conclude there is rain.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

It makes no difference what reality is. The only thing that makes a difference is drawing the correct conclusion from only the given statement.

OpenStudy (rz172):

Okay, thank you.
