15–1 Skills Practice Logic and Truth Tables For Exercises 1–16, use conditionals a, b, c and d. a: A triangle has three sides. b: January is a day of the week. c: 5 � 5 � 20 d: Parallel lines do not intersect. Write the statements for each negation. 1. �a A triangle does not have three sides. 2. �b January is not a day of the week. 3. �c 5 � 5 � 20 NAME DATE PERIOD 4. �d Parallel lines intersect. Write a statement for each conjunction or disjunction. Then find the truth value. 5. a � b A triangle has three sides or January is a day of the week; true. 6. a � b A triangle has three sides and January is a day of the week; false. 7. a � c A triangle has three sides or 5 � 5 � 20; true. 8. a � c A triangle has three sides and 5 � 5 � 20; false. 9. a � d A triangle has three sides or parallel lines do not intersect; true. 10. a � d A triangle has three sides and parallel lines do not intersect; true. 11. b � c January is a day of the week or 5 � 5 � 20; false. 12. b � c January is a day of the week and 5 � 5 � 20; false. 13. b � d January is a day of the week or parallel lines do not intersect; true. 14. b � d January is a day of the week and parallel lines do not intersect; false 15. c � d 5 � 5 � 20 or parallel lines do not intersect; true. 16. c � d 5 � 5 � 20 and parallel lines do not intersect; false. © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill 85 Geometry: Concepts and Applications

15–2 Deductive Reasoning NAME DATE PERIOD Skills Practice Use the Law of Detachment to determine a conclusion that follows from statements (1) and (2). If a valid conclusion does not follow, write no valid conclusion. 1. (1) If a figure is a triangle, then it is a polygon. (2) The figure is a triangle. The figure is a polygon. 2. (1) If I sell my skis, then I will not be able to go skiing. (2) I did not sell my skis. no valid conclusion 3. (1) If two angles are complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90. (2) Angle A and B are complementary. The sum of the measures of angles A and B is 90. 4. (1) If the measures of the lengths of two sides of a triangle are equal, then the triangle is isosceles. (2) Triangle ABC has two sides with lengths of equal measure. Triangle ABC is isosceles. 5. (1) If it rains, we will not go on a picnic. (2) We do not go on a picnic. no valid conclusion Use the Law of Syllogism to determine a conclusion that follows from statements (1) and (2). If a valid conclusion does not follow, write no valid conclusion. 6. (1) If my dog does not bark all night, I will give him a treat. (2) If I give my dog a treat, then he will wag his tail. If my dog does not bark all night, then he will wag his tail. 7. (1) If a polygon has three sides, then the figure is a triangle. (2) If a figure is a triangle, then the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 180. If a polygon has three sides, then the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 180. 8. (1) If the concert is postponed, then I will be out of town. (2) If the concert is postponed, then it will be held in the gym. no valid conclusion 9. (1) All whole numbers are rational numbers. (2) All whole numbers are real numbers. no valid conclusion 10. (1) If the temperature reaches 70°, then the swimming pool will open. (2) If the swimming pool opens, then we will not go to the beach. If the temperature reaches 70°, then we will not go to the beach. © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill 86 Geometry: Concepts and Applications

<strong>Skills</strong> <strong>Practice</strong><br />

Use the Law of Detachment to determine a conclusion that follows from statements<br />

(1) and (2). If a valid conclusion does not follow, write no valid conclusion.<br />

1. (1) If a figure is a triangle, then it is a polygon.<br />

(2) The figure is a triangle.<br />

The figure is a polygon.<br />

2. (1) If I sell my skis, then I will not be able to go skiing.<br />

(2) I did not sell my skis.<br />

no valid conclusion<br />

3. (1) If two angles are complementary, then the sum of their measures is 90.<br />

(2) Angle A and B are complementary.<br />

The sum of the measures of angles A and B is 90.<br />

4. (1) If the measures of the lengths of two sides of a triangle are equal, then the triangle is<br />

isosceles.<br />

(2) Triangle ABC has two sides with lengths of equal measure.<br />

Triangle ABC is isosceles.<br />

5. (1) If it rains, we will not go on a picnic.<br />

(2) We do not go on a picnic.<br />

no valid conclusion<br />

Use the Law of Syllogism to determine a conclusion that follows from statements<br />

(1) and (2). If a valid conclusion does not follow, write no valid conclusion.<br />

6. (1) If my dog does not bark all night, I will give him a treat.<br />

(2) If I give my dog a treat, then he will wag his tail.<br />

If my dog does not bark all night, then he will wag his tail.<br />

7. (1) If a polygon has three sides, then the figure is a triangle.<br />

(2) If a figure is a triangle, then the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 180.<br />

If a polygon has three sides, then the sum of the measures of the<br />

interior angles is 180.<br />

8. (1) If the concert is postponed, then I will be out of town.<br />

(2) If the concert is postponed, then it will be held in the gym.<br />
