Question

13. Carla drew two acute non-overlapping

angles that share a ray and labeled them
ZJLK and Z KLM. The two angles have
different measures. Carla says
ZILM is
greater than a right angle.
An acute angle is open
less than a right angle.​

Answer 1

An acute angle is open

Explanation:

An acute angle is an angle that is less than
`90^(0)`. Two or more acute angles are set to be complementary if their sum equals a right angle.

Clara's diagram involves two acute angles JLK and KLM with both sharing the side LK.

If the acute angles are complementary angles, then JLM would be a right angle.

If the acute angles are not complementary angles, then JLM would be less than a right angle.

So the appropriate choice to select is an acute angle is open. Which implies that JLM may be a right angle or not depending on the degrees of the acute angles involved.
