- Deductive Reasoning: Starts with a general statement or hypothesis and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion.
- Inductive Reasoning: Begins with a set of specific observations or facts and moves to a broader perspective or generalization.
Examples
Practice Questions:
- Use deductive reasoning to derive a conclusion from the following:
Given: All equilateral triangles have three equal sides.
Given: Triangle ABC is equilateral.
Conclusion:? - Based on the Law of Syllogism:
Given: If a shape has four equal sides, it’s a rhombus.
Given: If a shape is a rhombus, it’s a parallelogram.
Conclusion:? - Determine if deductive reasoning can be applied:
Given: All students in the choir can sing.
Given: John is in the choir.
Conclusion:?
- Conclusion: Triangle ABC has three equal sides.
- Conclusion: If a shape has four equal sides, it’s a parallelogram.
