      (Show Source): 
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".
