DEDUCTIVE REASONING
- This kind of reasoning is
characterized as reasoning from the
general to particular
General statement – “x”
Particular statement – “y”
Conclusion – “z”
Let us look at the following setd of statements.
01 x: If two numbers are odd, then their sum is even.
y: The numbers 3 and 5 are odd numbers..
z: The sum of 3 and 5 is even.
02 x: If you want good health, then you should get 8 hrs of
sleep each day.
y: Aaron wants good health.
z: Aaron should get 8 hrs of sleep each day.
Complete each syllogism. Write a general (x), a
particular statement (y), and conclusion (z).
01 x: If you quit smoking, then you save your lungs.
y: Karl quit smoking.
Karl saves his lungs.
z: _________________.
02 x: Right angles are congruent.
∠1 and ∠2 are right angles.
y: ____________________
z: ∠1 and ∠2 are congruent.
Conditional Statement

statement with a hypothesis
followed by a conclusion.
- The hypothesis is the first, or
“if”, part of a conditional
statement.
- The conclusion is the second, or
