Did Jenni write the converse statement properly? Determine if it's true or false, then give a counterexample if it's false.

Question

Jenni wrote a conditional statement, and the converse statement to accompany it.

The conditional statement Jenni wrote: "If angles are right angles, then they have the same measure."

The converse statement Jenni wrote: "If angles have the same measurement, then they are right angles."

Did Jenni write the converse statement properly? If not, then give a counterexample to further prove why the converse statement is false.

A. No; Two angles that measure 45 degrees.

B. Yes; Two angles that measure 90 degrees.

C. Yes; Two angles that measure 41 degrees.

D. No; Two angles that measure 82 degrees.

Answer 1

She wrote the converse correctly, but the converse is not true.

Why not? For example: if 2 angles each measure 45°, they are NOT right angles.
