Determine whether the stated conclusion is valid based on the given information. If not, write invalid. Explain your reasoning.
3. Given: If a number is divisible by 4, then the number is divisible by 2. 12 is divisible by four.
Conclusion: 12 is divisible by 2.
SOLUTION:
If p → q is a true statement and p is true, then q. Here, a number divisible 4 is divisible by 2 also and 12 is divisible by 4. So, 12 is divisible by 2 is a valid statement by the Law of Detachment.
ANSWER:
valid; Law of Detachment
4. Given: If Elan stays up late, he will be tired the next day. Elan is tired.
Conclusion: Elan stayed up late.
SOLUTION:
If p is true, then q is true, but q being true does not necessarily mean that p is true. Elan could be tired because he worked out. So, the statement is invalid.
ANSWER:
Invalid; Elan could be tired because he worked out.

Answer:
pythagorean theorem=a squared + b squared =c squared
where c is the hypotenus(the longest part)
Step-by-step explanation:
16 squared = 8 squared +....
16 ×16=256=8×8=64 + y
256_64=192
sq. root of 192=13.85
y=180_90=90
90÷2=45
y=45
z=45
x=13.85cm
hope you understand
Answer:
x: the number of minutes spent reading
y: number of pages read
Step-by-step explanation:
339/40= 8.475
y=mx+b
339=40(8.475)+b
339=339+b
0=b
Hope this helps!
