Rex has not four legs. ---------------------------------------------- Rex is not a dog p ————> q (If p, then q) Not q (given: not q) ------------------------------------------- Not p (Inference: not p) Not q Not p Please note that denying the antecedent is logically unsound: Even if Rex is not a dog, he can well have four legs.
