Quarter Assessment in Mathematics 8


(Third Quarter)
Prepared By: Mr. Robert John G. Hermoso

Name: ___________________________________________ Grade & Section: ________________ Score: ________

General Direction: Read and understand the test questions carefully. Show your solutions in the other
sheets. Strictly no erasures.
I. Determine whether the statement is TRUE or FALSE. Write your answer after each statement. (1
point each)
1. The conditionals “If P thenQ ” and “If Q then P” are equivalent.
2. If P →Q is true, then Q is true.
3. Both deductive and inductive reasoning are valid forms of reasoning.
4. Axioms are statements that are accepted to be true because they were produced through
deductive reasoning.
5. Theorems can be based on previous proven theorems.
6. An isosceles triangle can have a base of 4 and legs of length 2.
7. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent.
8. When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, same side interior angles are congruent.
9. An isosceles triangle can have a base of 2 and legs of length 4.
10. When bisecting an angle using straightedge and compass, two congruent triangles will also be
constructed. These triangles are congruent due to SAS Congruence Postulate.

II. Identify what is being asked. Write your answer after each statement. (2 points each)
1. It is a statement that can be written in an if-then form.
2. It is the process by which a conclusion is reached because it is a specific case of a general principle
that is known to be true.
3. A system that has its own language and properties.
4. A statement that is assumed to be true but without proof.
5. It makes use of undefined terms or terms previously defined.
6. The side between two angles.
7. He is often credited as the motivator for logic or deductive reasoning.
8. A polygon that has three sides.
9. Every geometric object (segment, angle, or polygon) is congruent to itself.
10. The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

III. Use inductive reasoning to find the next element in the sequence. (3 points each)

IV. Use deductive reasoning to form a conclusion (if any). (3 points each)
1. If Helga campaigns for the student council, then she will win the school election. Helga won the
school election.
2. All Mathematics teachers in your school have a favorite Mathematics book. Mr. Hermoso is a
Mathematics teacher.
3. If you bring an umbrella, then you will not get wet. You did not bring an umbrella.
4. The sum of two even numbers is even. The sum of m and n is even.
5. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if it has two pairs of parallel sides. Quadrilateral ABCD does not
have two pairs of parallel sides.

Deductive reasoning is essential in establishing mathematical truths as it involves deriving conclusions from established premises or axioms. It ensures that if the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true, providing a certainty in mathematical proofs, contrary to inductive reasoning, which derives generalizations from observations and might not always produce guaranteed true conclusions.

The Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Postulate can be used to justify the congruence of two triangles if two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle, and the included angles in those pairs of sides are equal. This ensures the two triangles are congruent.

The process of deriving specific conclusions from a general principle known to be true is deductive reasoning. In mathematics, it is used to prove theorems by logically deducing new truths from already established axioms or previously proven theorems, ensuring the validity of mathematical claims.

No, the conditionals 'If P then Q' and 'If Q then P' are not equivalent in logic. These represent converse propositions. While 'If P then Q' means that Q follows from P, the converse, 'If Q then P', means that P follows from Q, which requires separate verification to be true.

The logical flaw in assuming 'If you bring an umbrella, then you will not get wet' leads to 'you did not bring an umbrella if you did not get wet' is based on affirming the consequent. The original implication does not guarantee non-reversibility; not getting wet could result from other factors aside from bringing an umbrella, such as the weather changing. This misunderstands the directionality and condition sufficiency of implications.

Given that Helga won the school election, according to the statement 'If Helga campaigns for the student council, then she will win the school election', it does not necessarily mean she campaigned because the condition of her winning is not enough to establish that she campaigned due to logical possibilities missing about the campaigning part.

Inductive reasoning helps identify a pattern in the sequence 500, 250, 125 by observing the factor by which each term is reduced. Each term is halved, suggesting the next element follows this pattern. Therefore, the next element would be 125 divided by 2, which is 62.5.

No, an isosceles triangle cannot have a base of 2 and legs of 4. According to the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. In this case, the sum of the base (2) and one leg (4) is equal to the length of the other leg (4), which violates the inequality condition.

When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent. This property is fundamental in understanding the relationships between angles formed in such configurations.

The statement 'The sum of two even numbers is even' is valid and can be proven through logical deduction. If two even numbers are defined as 2m and 2n, their sum is 2m + 2n = 2(m+n), which is clearly divisible by 2, confirming that the sum is even.
