If I give you this conditional

AND tell you that someone is a witch, what is the only conclusion you can make?

They weigh as much as a duck!

If she is a witch, then she weighs as much as a duck!

This is called the Law of DetachmentIf a conditional is true and it's hypothesis is true, then the conclusion is true.

Symbolic Form:        If p      q is a true statement and p is true, then q is true.

1.  If it is made of wood, then it floats on water.     My boat is made of wood.

Conclusion:

Using the Law of Detachment, your only conclusion is that my boat floats on water.

2.  If M is the midpoint of a segment, then it divides the segment into two          congruent segments.     M is the midpoint of AB.

Conclusion:

Using the Law of Detachment, your only conclusion is that AM = MB.

Here are two conditionals that we will assume true:

If she is a witch, then she weighs as much as a duck.If she weighs as much as a duck, then she floats on water.

What conclusion can you make from the above statements?

If she is a witch, then she floats on water!

This is called the LAW OF SYLLOGISM

If  p     q  and  q     r  are true statements, then  p     r  is a true statement.

1.  If a number is prime, then it does not have repeated factors.     If a number does not have repeated factors, then it is not a perfect square.

Conclusion:

If a number is prime, then it is not a perfect square.

2.  If a number is divisible by 10, then it is divisible by 5.     If a number ends in 0, then it is divisible by 10.      

Conclusion:

If a number ends is 0, then it is divisible by 5.
