A. The statement is true, but the inverse is false. (explanation): An inverse statement is to take the negation of both the hypothesis and the conclusion (basically the opposite). the opposite of “If an angle measures 43°, then the angle is acute.” would be “If an angle does not measure 43°, then the angle is not acute” which isn’t true because an angle any less than 90° is acute and isn’t only measured 43°. Hope this helps and good luck in your class!! :)
