Part II. True or False. Write “YOUR NAME” if the statement is true before the number. If otherwise,
write the name of your “MATH TEACHER”.

________________________21. If a deductive argument has true premises and a false conclusion, then it must be
invalid.
________________________22. If the conclusion of an argument follows from the definition of a word used in a
premise, then the argument is deductive.
________________________23. Because triangle A is congruent with triangle B, and triangle A is isosceles, it follows
that triangle B is isosceles. This passage can be described as inductive argument.
________________________24. If there is a general statement in the premises, the argument will always be inductive.
________________________25. Arguments that have a time sequence in the premises (A happened, B happened) and
a causal statement in the conclusion (A caused B) will always be inductive.

Part III – A. Identify the term/terms being describe by each statement.

_________________________26. It is the "if" statement of a theorem.

_________________________27. A mathematical argument that starts from a general premise to a particular
premise.
_________________________28. A single conditional statement is made, and a hypothesis (P) is stated. The
conclusion (Q) is then deduced from the statement and the hypothesis.
_________________________29. Takes two conditional statements and forms a conclusion by combining the
hypothesis of one statement with the conclusion of another

the number.
A. Theorem B. Postulate C. Definition

_______ 36. A right triangle is a triangle that has a right angle.

_______ 37. An angle is the inclination to one another of two straight lines that meet.
_______ 38. If equals are joined to equals, the wholes will be equal.
_______ 39. Vertical angles are equal in measure.
