Question

problem 8: (first taught in lesson 48)
select whether the statement below is the con - verse, inverse, or contrapositive of the following statement: if a triangle has an angle with a measure of 100, then it is not an acute triangle.
if a triangle is not an acute triangle, then it has an angle with a measure of 100.
after you pick your answer press go.
a. converse b. inverse
c. contrapositive

Explanation:

Let the original statement be “If \(p\) (a triangle has an angle with a measure of \(100\)), then \(q\) (it is not an acute triangle)”. The given statement is “If \(q\) (a triangle is not an acute triangle), then \(p\) (it has an angle with a measure of \(100\))”. The converse of “If \(p\), then \(q\)” is “If \(q\), then \(p\)”.

Answer:

A. converse
