Which method of reasoning reaches a general conclusion on the basis of a number of observations that form a pattern?
deductive reasoning
inductive reasoning
complementary reasoning
supplementary reasoning

Step-by-step explanation:

Deductive reasoning can be defined as the process of reasoning based on premises to reach a specific conclusion.

So, in this case, the statement indicate a method of reasoning based on a number of observations that can lead to a conclusion. That's just deductive reasoning, because those number of observations form the system of premises, from which a deductive logic is developed to get to the conclusion.

Therefore, the right answer is the first choicem, deductive reasoning.

answer: true

step-by-step explanation:

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
