No CommentsAn In-Depth Look at the Transitive Property
Description
A detailed tutorial on the use of the transitive property. Step by step tutorial including several examples of how to use the transitive property for reference.
Overview
The transitive property states that if a = b, and if b = c, then a = c. This makes sense, because the first statement, a = b, tells us that a must be the same value as b. The second statement then tells us that b = c, meaning that b and c have the same value. If c has the same value as b, and b has the same value as a, then a = c. In time the transitive property becomes something we do so often that we don\’t even think about it being an actual property anymore.
