 * Deductive reasoning**:  It is a way to get __a concluding specifics facts__ starting of a general fact and following a logical sense, but this conclusion can be true or false depending of the primisas that used. **a is used for singular and concluding specific facts is plural **
 * Inductive reasoning**: it is a way to get a concluding general fact starting of premises that contain specific fact**S **.

2. Please visit the following page and read the text **"Geometrical proportions of the Egyptian Pyramids"** then find and extract the hypotheses in it. There are 6 hypotheses in the text extract 5 and explain how you found them. [|Geometrical proportions of the Egyptian Pyramids.doc]

//I can not result the detailed analysis of all Egyptian Pyramids and consequently I bring the description only for pyramid of Cheops as this pyramid the most significant. But nevertheless the analysis of geometrical proportions of other Egyptian Pyramids can be made in comparison with pyramid of Cheops.//
 * It is an inductive reasoning, because the author compare****S ** **the proportions of the Pyramid of Cheops with the other pyramids.**

//In different sources of the information there are different data on size of the Egyptian cubit, but I think that the size of the Egyptian cubit is equal to 466 millimeters that is taken from sources of the information which the authentic from my point of view, as it is anthropometrical size of a human "elbow" (forearm + palm + fingers).//
 * It is an inductive reasoning, because the author used the cubit of the pyramid of Cheops for get the measures of the others pyramids.**

// It is possible to assume, that the ratio of diameters of a living circle in the geometrical drawing of the Cheops' pyramid turns out as a result of transformation of the living circle when size of the line TA is precisely equal to size of lines CE, DF, LJ, MK.//
 * It is a deductive reasoning, because the author part the a ratio between all circles and it is relates with the circle that has the geometrical drawing of the Cheops pyramid.**

// It is possible to speak that magnitudes of the Egyptian Pyramids have fixed sizes of measurements which allow to understand structure of world around, and allow to apply "Great Egyptian Measures" to designing environmental space and for an arrangement of the objects of the human world created by people.// **It is a deductive reasoning, because the author says that the structures of the world have been copied of the magnitudes of the Egyptian pyramids, therefore the Egyptians are excellent builders.**

//There is hypothesis that the found 22 arcane became the reason of an esoteric legend that predictive cards of Tarot have the Egyptian origin.// **It is a deductive reasoning, because people believe that the cards Egyptian arcane figure can predict the future, as these figures are related with the construction of Egyptian pyramids. **

3. Look for any mathematical hypothesis and put it in your wiki. Please make sure you cite the source properly so that you do not commit plagiarism. Explain whether the hypothesis you are explaining is deductive or inductive and give reasons to your explanation.

=Golden ratio=

Some studies of the [|Acropolis], including the [|Parthenon], conclude that many of its proportions approximate the golden ratio. The Parthenon's facade as well as elements of its facade and elsewhere are said to be circumscribed by golden rectangles.[|[19]] __To the extent that classical buildings or their elements are proportioned according to the golden ratio, this might indicate that their architects were aware of the golden ratio and consciously employed it in their designs. Alternatively, it is possible that the architects used their own sense of good proportion, and that this led to some proportions that closely approximate the golden ratio.__ On the other hand, such retrospective analyses can always be questioned on the ground that the investigator chooses the points from which measurements are made or where to superimpose golden rectangles, and that these choices affect the proportions observed.

 * it is inductive reasoning, because it starts that the buildings are proportional according to the golden ratio and come to that the architects had knowledge about the golden ratio.**
