Question

(a) problem 9: (first taught in lesson 48) select whether the statement below is the converse, 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 does not have an angle with a measure of 100, then it is an acute triangle. 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 not \(p\) (a triangle does not have an angle with a measure of 100), then not \(q\) (it is an acute triangle)". The inverse of a statement "If \(p\), then \(q\)" is "If not \(p\), then not \(q\)".

Answer:

B. inverse
