About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 5.8:     

 

Assignment 5.8 is an introduction to syllogisms (law of transitivity)

 

Prerequisite Skill:  Identify the hypothesis and conclusion in conditional sentences (Assignment 5.6).

 

Definitions:  A syllogism is a valid argument in which the conclusion is the logical result of two premises.  

 

                           For a hypothetical syllogism, the premises are conditionals.
