Write a conditional statement from each sentence. 13. You should monitor the heart rate of a patient who is ill.

14. After three strikes, the batter is out.

15. Congruent segments have equal measures.

20. If freezing rain is falling, then the air temperature is 32ºF or less. ( Hint: The freezing point of water is 32ºF.)

2.1.3 Using Deductive Reasoning to Verify Conjectures Does each conclusion use inductive or deductive reasoning? 21. The sum of the angle measures of a triangle is 180º. Two angles of a triangle measure 40º and 60º, so Kandy concludes that the third angle measures 80º.
