You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What do you understand by deductive method of reasoning?
You start with a general statement, like:
"Every square is a rectangle".
You then make a claim.
"Figure A is a square"
Then you deduce something about the claim based on the general statement.
"Therefore A is a rectangle".
