If then statement
The if part of a theorem is its hypothesis (represented by p) and the then part is its conclusion (represented by q).

Inductive and Deductive Reasoning in Geometry

Prepared by: Gena Clarish G. Carreon

Inductive Reasoning
A process of arriving at a certain conclusion based on several past observations. Look for a pattern and draw a conclusion.

Ex. 1: Find the next term in the sequence: A) 3, 6, 12, 24, ___, 48 ___ 96

B) 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, ___, 29 ___ 37

C)

 Counter Example To a conjecture is an example for which the conjecture is incorrect.

Ex. 1:

3, 5, 7, ___

11 3, 5, 7, ___
One would think that the rule
is adding 2, but that gives us 9. Is that true? What is the next odd prime number?

Inductive Reasoning 1. Look for a pattern. 2. Make a conjecture. 3. Prove the conjecture or find a counterexample.

Deductive Reasoning
Conclusion are based on previously assumed or proven statements such as definitions, postulates and theorem.

Geometry example Triangle Sum Property

x

the sum of the angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees.

60

Therefore, angle x = 30

________ 1. I have seen eight Toyota cars pass by and they were all in blue. Toyota must be producing only blue cars. _________ 2. Milk spoils about 1 week after the expiration date on the package. It has been 2 weeks after the expiration date on the package. The milk in the package is already spoiled.
