Answer:

Deductive reasoning is a method of logical thought that begins with a general concept and arrives at a particular conclusion. It is often referred to as top-down thought or shifting from general to particular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some examples:

  1. Elephants have cells in their bodies, and all cells have DNA. ...
  2. All horses have manes.
  3. Acute angles are less than 90 degrees. This angle is 40 degrees, so it must be an acute angle.
  4. All noble gases are stable.

The first side of a triangle is twice the length of the second side; the third side is 20 feet less than three times the second
oee [108]
Let the second side be x

then,
first side = twice the length of the second side
= 2x

third side = 20 feet less than three times the second side
3 (second side ) - 20
= 3 (2x) -20
= 6x - 20

perimete of a triangle = sum of all sides,

substitute the values we know,
and you'll be left with this equation

106 = x + 2x + 6x - 20
106+ 20 = 9x
126 = 9x
126/9 = x
14 = x

so,

measure of second side = x = 14 feet

measure of first side = 2x = 2 (14) = 28 feet

measure of thurd side = 6x - 20 = 6 (14)-20 = 84- 20 = 64 feet.
