Law Of Syllogism

In an if-then statement the "if" of the statement is the hypothesis and the "then" statement is the conclusion. Two if-then statements that are put together are called a syllogism. The law of Syllogism states that if statement p, then statement q, and if statement q, then statement r. This shows that if p leads to q, and q leads to r , then p leads to r . So an example of a syllogism is , if its hot then I go outside, if I go outside then I go to the pool, so using a syllogism you would come to the conclusion that if its hot then I go to the pool .
