Select the counterexample to this conjecture:

A pair of supplementary angles includes one obtuse angle.
A.90º + 90º = 180º B.120º + 60º = 180º C.100º + 80º = 180º D.110º + 70º = 180º

Final answer:

The counterexample to the conjecture that a pair of supplementary angles includes one obtuse angle is option A, 90º + 90º = 180º.

Step-by-step explanation:

The counterexample to the conjecture that a pair of supplementary angles includes one obtuse angle is option A, 90º + 90º = 180º.

In this case, both angles are right angles and not obtuse angles.

To be an obtuse angle, one angle in the pair must be greater than 90 degrees.

the answer is .90º + 90º = 180º, .90º is not an obtuse angle
