Do all triangles have to have 2 acute angles?
Yes, if two of the angles in a triangle are obtuse or right, theres no logical way for the legs to meet at a point.
True or false In the body of an indirect proof you must show that the assumption leads to a contradiction?
TrueIt is true that the body of an indirect proof you must show that the assumption leads to a contradiction. In math a proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement.

When using a indirect proof you show that the negation of the desired conclusion leads to a contradiction?
True
Can the universe be be younger than the component inside of it?
No, this would be a logical contradiction.
What does implicitly contradictory mean?
An implicit contradiction, as opposed to an explicit contradiction, is hidden within the logical structure of the statement. If you figure it out, you will discover that there is a contradiction. Explicit contradictions don't have to be figured out, they merely have to be pointed out.
What symbol represents contradiction?
In Formal Logic proofs, the contradiction is represented with an inverted T (or upside-down T) as follows: ┴ The contradiction symbol can be introduced at any time a logical contradiction is encounterd, for example, all of the the following contradictory logical statements (using different symbols) can be replaced with the contradiction symbol: The ball is completely blue and the ball not completely blue. P ^ ¬P P & ~P P & !P P AND NOT P
What is theory of contraction?
Contradiction is logical incompatibility between two or more things. When two propositions have two conclusions that are opposite inversions of each other a contradiction is formed.
When are 2 and 2 not equal?
2 must always equal 2. To have otherwise is a logical contradiction, and an impossibility.
What is the definition of contradiction?
A contradiction is a fact or statement that questions or disproves an existing one. It is a logical conflict or incongruity, or one that cannot be reconciled with another. (A "contradiction in terms" is something that seems to contain self-contradictory elements, as in an oxymoron.) Example : "The crime scene analysis was a direct contradiction of the suspect's version of the events."

What kind of process do you use to show that a false must be true because it cannot be false?
This is the composition of proof by contradiction upon logical negation.

What is the shape of point in mathematics?
If a point isspherical, then between spheres you have a space. So it cannot be spherical. If it is cube then cube has 8 points. So a point has 8 points is a contradiction. If it istetrahedral then it has 4 points. So point has 4 points is again contradiction. This is true for every shape.So you have no idea about shape of point.
