In mathematical logic, the Law of Detachment says that if the following two statements are true:

( 1 ) If p, then q.

( 2 ) p

Then we can derive a third true statement:

( 3 ) q.

In our question, we have

( 1 ) If 0º< A <90º, then A is an acute angle.

( 2 ) The measure of A is 58º.

Then, from the first statement, we can affirm

( 3 ) A is an acute angle.
