Math is deductive

Welcome to online math tutors,

Math itself is not inductive, but deductive. Having accepted that the
world is reasonably Euclidean, we have to accept the results of the
deduction that the radius always increases by the same amount. And
that's why math is useful: it makes it possible to find answers
without having to check every possible case.

So I think the best thing to do is not to focus on testing the actual
solution to this problem, but to build confidence in the mathematical
methods by explaining the reasoning in ways that make intuitive sense. examples
on math forum; An added benefit is that, in analyzing WHY the math does what it does,
we can gain a better understanding of the whole problem. Let's try
that for your example problem. learn more on math helper.
