To find: Whether the given conclusion is based on inductive or deductive reasoning.

Answer to Problem 2CYU
The conclusion is based on inductive reasoning.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Consider the given conclusion.
Calculation:
Inductive reasoning is reasoning that uses a number of specific examples to arrive at a conclusion.
Deductive reasoning uses facts, rules, definitions or properties to reach logical conclusions from given statements.
The conclusion is based on a pattern of observations.
- Holly’s neighbor mows his lawn on every Saturday.
The conclusion is not based on fact.
Therefore, the conclusion is based on inductive reasoning.

- Decomposition geometry: Mary is making a decorative yard space with dimensions as shaded in green (ΔOAB).Mary would like to cover the yard space with artificial turf (plastic grass-like rug). Mary reasoned that she could draw a rectangle around the figure so that the point O was at a vertex of the rectangle and that points A and B were on sides of the rectangle. Then she reasoned that the three smaller triangles resulting could be subtracted from the area of the rectangle. Mary determined that she would need 28 square meters of artificial turf to cover the green shaded yard space pictured exactly.arrow_forward7. 11 m 12.7 m 14 m S V=B₁+ B2(h) 9.5 m 16 m h+s 2 na 62-19 = 37 +, M h² = Bu-29arrow_forwardwhat would a of a interscribed angle be with an arc of 93 degrees and inside abgles of 111 and 98arrow_forward
