Answer to Question #98152 in Geometry for Micah Robinson

Question

What is inductive

Answer 1

This is the type of reasoning in geometry.

An example of inductive reasoning in geometry would be estimating or figuring out a solution to a given localized condition and testing it to see if it applies to other conditions with similar properties.

Example: You notice something specific about a localized case ("All these right triangles I see in my textbook also have two acute angles") and draw a universal conclusion that you will need to test ("All right triangles have two acute angles")
