  1. LOGIC: SYLLOGISMS

  2. Syllogism: A set of statements called premises, which lead to one logical conclusion.

  3. If the premises are true, (and we assume they are), then the conclusion must be true.

  4. (Note: This symbol means “Therefore”. It signals the conclusion.)

  5. Law of Syllogism

  6. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. If a figure is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other. __________________________

  7. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. If a figure is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other. __________________________

  8. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. If a figure is a parallelogram, then its diagonals bisect each other. __________________________

  9. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. If a figure is a parallelogram, thenits diagonals bisect. __________________________ If a figure is a rectangle, then its diagonals bisect.

  10. Law of Detachment

  11. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. ABCD is a rectangle. __________________________

  12. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. ABCD is a rectangle. __________________________

  13. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. ABCD is a rectangle. __________________________ ABCD is a parallelogram.

  14. Law of Contrapositive

  15. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. ABCD is not a parallelogram. __________________________

  16. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. ABCD is not a parallelogram. __________________________

  17. If a figure is a rectangle, then it is a parallelogram. ABCD is not a parallelogram. __________________________ ABCD is not a rectangle.

  18. Time to Practice:

  19. In the following examples, use the given law of syllogism to draw the correct conclusion from the set of premises.
