Question

2.5.6 stepping stones
for the conditional statement, if the angle measures 90° or less, then it is an acute angle., which is the converse statement?
if the angle is an acute angle, then the angle measures 90° or less.
if the angle does not measure 90° or less, then it is not an acute angle.
if the angle is not an acute angle, then the angle does not measure 90° or less.
an angle is an acute angle, if and only if it measures 90° or less.

Explanation:

The converse of a conditional statement "If p, then q" is "If q, then p". Here, p is "the angle measures 90° or less" and q is "it is an acute angle". So the converse is "If the angle is an acute angle, then the angle measures 90° or less".

Answer:

If the angle is an acute angle, then the angle measures 90° or less.
