I. ABSTRACTION (CRITICAL THINKING)

Write the corresponding statement of each proposition if p stands for “Thermodynamic is a
branch of Physics.” And q stands for “Thermodynamics deals with the movement of heat.”
2.) ~p
Thermodynamics does not deal with the movement of heat.
4.) q v p
Thermodynamics deals with the movement of heat or thermodynamics

is a branch of physics.
6.) q → p
If Thermodynamics deals with the movement of heat, then

thermodynamics is a branch of physics.
8.) ~ (p v q)
Thermodynamics is not a branch of physics nor does Thermodynamics

deal with the movement of heat.
10.) ~p ∧ ~q
Thermodynamics is not a branch of physics and Thermodynamics does

not deal with the movement of heat.
II. DETERMINE
Determine which of the given statements is inductive or deductive reasoning:
1. If a quadrilateral has four sides, then a rectangle is a quadrilateral.

Answer: DEDUCTIVE
2. I find people with glasses intellectual. Joaquin is wearing glasses. Therefore, Joaquin is
intellectual.
Answer: DEDUCTIVE
3. My math teacher of last semester was a woman. This semester, my math teacher is a
woman. Therefore, all math teachers are women.
Answer: INDUCTIVE
4. A man inspects 12 taxis, all of which are white, and concludes that all taxis are white.
Answer: INDUCTIVE
5. For the first 5 activities, Jayen is the first one to complete the activity. He concludes that
he will be the first one to finish in all activities.
Answer: INDUCTIVE
III. EXERCISE SET 3.3

Use Polya’s four-step problem-solving strategy and the problem-solving procedures
presented in this section to solve each of the following exercises.
 Height of Ladders. If two ladders are placed end to end, their combined height is
31.5 feet. One ladder is 6.5 feet shorter than the other ladder. What are the height
of the two ladders?
Given: one ladder = x - 6.5 feet
other ladder = x
combined height = 31.5 feet
Solution:
other ladder:
x + x – 6.5 = 31.5
2x – 6.5 = 31.5
2x = 6.5 + 31.5
2 x /2 = 38/2
x = 19
one ladder
x – 6.5
19 – 6.5 = 12.5
Checking:
Combined height: 19 + 12.5 = 31.5
Answer: The height of the two ladders are 19 feet and 12.5 feet
 Number of games. In a basketball league consisting of 12 teams, each team plays

each of the other teams exactly twice. How many league games will be played?
Given : 12 teams
Each team played each of the other team twice = x(2)
Number of league games played = ?
12 x 11
Solution: x =
2
132
x=
2
x = 66 games
Each team plays twice with the other teams:
= x(2)
= 66(2)
= 132
Answer: The total number of league games played are 132
 Number of Routes. Use the map to answer each of the following:
Step 1: Simplify the map. You can simplify the map by drawing squares and
rectangles, putting lines where there should be roads or streets.
Step 2: In every intersection, write the number of direct routes taken to reach
that exact intersection. (Note: only count routes that go towards the destination,
which is point B)
a. How many direct routes are there from A to B if you want to pass by Starbucks?
Answer: There are five direct routes from A to B that passes by Starbucks.
1st route – First Avenue – Board Walk – Third Avenue – Gateway Boulevard –
Fourth Avenue – B
2nd route – First Avenue – Board Walk – Third Avenue – Park Avenue – Fourth
Avenue – B
3rd route – River Walk – Third Avenue – Gateway Boulevard – Fourth Avenue – B
4th route – River Walk – Fourth Avenue – Board Walk – Third Avenue – Park
Avenue – Fourth Avenue – B
5th route – River Walk – Fourth Avenue – Board Walk – Third Avenue – Gateway
Avenue – Fourth Avenue
b. How many direct routes are there from A to B if you want to stop at Subway for a
sandwich?
Answer: There are three direct routes from A to B that passes by a Subway.
1st route – First Avenue – Board Walk – Third Avenue – Park Avenue – Fourth
Avenue – B
2nd route – First Avenue – Board Walk – Third Avenue – Gateway Boulevard –
Fourth Avenue - B
3rd route – First Avenue – Board Walk – Fourth Avenue - B
c. How many direct routes are there from A to B if you want to stop at Starbucks
and at a Subway?
Answer: There are two direct routes from A to B that passes by Starbucks and a
Subway.
1st route – First Avenue – Board Walk – Third Avenue – Gateway Boulevard –
Fourth Avenue – B
2nd route - First Avenue – Board Walk – Third Avenue – Park Avenue – Fourth
Avenue - B
 Number of Line Segments. Twenty-four points are placed around a circle. A line
segment is drawn between each pair of points. How many line segments are
drawn?
Given: 24 line segments placed around the circle
Line Segment drawn = ?
24(23)
Solution:
2
552
=
2
= 276
Answer: There are 276 line segments.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my
