Jenni wrote a conditional statement and its converse.Conditional: If angles are right angles, then the angles have the same measure.Converse: If angles have the same measurement, then they are right angles.Did Jenni write the converse statement properly? Give a counterexample to dispute the validity of the converse statement.No; two angles that each measure 45°Yes; two angles that each measure 90°Yes; two angles that each measure 41°No; two angles that each measure 82°

The converse statement is invalid. We have been told that the converse statement is the following: If angles have the same measurement, then they are right angles. Right away, we see that this is incorrect. For example, two forty-one-degree angles have the same measure, but they are not right angles. A right angle is and only is, a 90-degree angle.

That being said, it is important to note that the converse statement has been written properly. If you have an if, then statement, to make it converse, you switch the if and then clauses. For example:

If a boy likes Kit Kats, then he likes chocolate

The converse would be the following:

If a boy likes chocolate, then he likes Kit Kats

There is one choice that correctly answers both parts of the question: Yes; two angles that each measure 41°

"Yes" means that the statement is written correctly. The second part of the answer proves that two angles that are not right can still have the same measure.
