Question

Kellie is given the following information:

Answer 1

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.
