Given:

The statement is: If 2 angles are both right angles then they are congruent.

To find:

The converse of the given statement and then check whether it is true or not.

Solution:

We know that,

Statement: If p, then q.

Converse : If q, then p.

The statement is: If 2 angles are both right angles then they are congruent.

So, the converse of this statement is:

If 2 angles are congruent then both are right angles.

This statement is not true because if 2 angles are congruent then it is not necessary that the angles are right angles.

Therefore, the converse of this statement is not true.
