Korra, trying to solve a math problem: Tenzin? Can you help me?

Tenzin, rushing over ready to feel smart and helpful: Of course!

Korra: so, this is the problem. It’s a geometric proof. Geometric proof, this is Tenzin. 

Tenzin: hmm, yes, I see, I see, okay,

Korra: great so you can help!

Tenzin: of course, just one moment. *yells for Jinora*

korra: *looks at the camera like she’s on the office*

jinora, rushing over: it’s the geometric proofs again, isn’t it

Geometric proofs, such as the Pythagorean theorem, are among the most conceptually demanding topics for students due to their abstract nature and requirement for deep logical reasoning. While proofs build critical analytical and deductive skills, many learners struggle to connect mathematical steps with theoretical ideas. This topic explores why proofs are challenging, using the Pythagorean theorem as a key example. It offers simplified strategies, visual aids, and educational tools (e.g., Khan Academy, Crash Course) to help students master these foundational math concepts.

Let's have a go at the law of detachment.

Friendly reminder: Detachment means that p implies q, so if p is true, q must also be true. 

Let p = (x) is on Sherlock's list of pressure points.

Let q= (x) is an important person to Sherlock.

so:

If (x) is on Sherlock's list of pressure points, then (x) is an important person to Sherlock.

We can replace (x) with people, and if p is true, then q is true as well according to this law. 

If (x) = Anderson, the statement returns: false. 

If (x) = Sally, the statement returns: false. 

If (x) = Irene, the statement returns: true.

This means the statement "Irene is an important person to Sherlock" is a true statement. 

(Note: I realize some Johnlock shippers might say, "oh, but John's on that list too!" That is a correct statement. John is an important person to Sherlock. But here, I am disproving the statement "Irene is not an important person to Sherlock.")
