  1. 3. An unproven statement or rule that is based on inductive reasoning
  2. 5. The inverse is obtained by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional. The inverse of the conditional "if p, then q" is the conditional "if not p, then not q."
  3. 6. bisector: A ray that divides an angel into two congruent angels.
  4. 7. Proof: A proof is a convincing argument that uses deductive reasoning to demonstrate the truth of a statement. It can be presented in various forms, such as two-column, paragraph, flow, coordinate, or indirect proofs.
  5. 10. reasoning: Deductive reasoning is a process of reasoning using given and previously known facts to reach a logical conclusion
  6. 11. combination of a conditional statement ,p-> q , and its converse q->p. A biconditional contains the words “if and only if “

  5. 8. The contrapositive is created by negating and reversing a conditional statement. For "if p, then q," the contrapositive is "if not q, then not p." They have the same truth value.
  6. 9. Law of syllogism: The Law of Syllogism is a law of logic that states that given two true conditionals with the conclusion of the first being the hypothesis of the second, there exists a third true conditional having the hypothesis of the first and the conclusion of the second. Symbolically, if p → q and q → r are true, then p → r is true.
  7. 12. The converse reverses the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional.
  8. 13. of detachment: The Law of Detachment is a law of logic that states if a conditional statement and its hypothesis are true, then its conclusion is also true. Symbolically, if p → an and p are true, then q is true.
