Answer:
She used inductive reasoning. (False)
She used the law of detachment. (True)
Her conclusion is valid. (True)
The statements can be represented as "if p, then q and if q, then r." (False)
Her conclusion is true. (True)
Step-by-step explanation:
p = Two lines are perpendicular
q = They intersect at Right angles.
Given: A and B are perpendicular
Conclusion: A and B intersect at right angle.
According to the law of detachment, There are two premises (statements that are accepted as true) and a conclusion. They must follow the pattern as shown below.
Statement 1: If p, then q.
Statement 2: p
Conclusion: q
In our case the pattern is followed. The truth of the premises logically guarantees the truth of the conclusion. So her conclusion is true and valid.
