Question

In the figure below, H = 3, HI = 4 ,and JI ne 5.

H

If we assume H is a right angle, it follows that JI = sqrt(3 ^ 2 + 4 ^ 2) = 5 This contradicts the given statement that J I ne5. What conclusion can be drawn from this contradiction

partial A angle Hisa right angle

) B . angle H is not a right angle

c. JI > 5

D. JI = 5

Answer 1

A contradiction is a situation or ideas in opposition to one another. Example 1 is if f x=2, then 3x−5≠10. Proof is assuming that “If x=2, then 3x−5=10.” Take this statement as true and solve for x. But x=5 contradicts the given statement that x=2. So you're answer would be B because it contradicts the following statement.
