Question 89514 • (A. Costello)WCA 5324 Geometry 1st Nine Weeks 26-27
The conditional says that if two lines are perpendicular, they intersect at a right angle. Since lines A and B are stated to be perpendicular, the law of detachment lets Kellie conclude that they intersect at a right angle. Her conclusion is valid because it follows from the conditional and the given fact, and it is true given the information in the question. This is not inductive reasoning, and the statements are not in the form “if p, then q and if q, then r.”
