Answer:

(a) 90°, 90°

(b) 5, 1

(c) 10°, 20°

(d) 10°, 20°, 150°

Explanation:

You need to consider ways in which each statement might not apply.

(a) An obtuse angle is greater than 90°. If both angles are 90°, then neither is obtuse.

counterexample: m∠1 = 90°, m∠2 = 90°

__

(b) If the perimeter is 12, the sum of the side lengths must be 6. There are many ways to get two numbers that have a sum of 6. Here's one:

counterexample: length = 5, width = 1

__

(c) All that is required is that the sum of angles be 30°. They don't have to be equal.

counterexample: m∠ABC = 10°, m∠CBD = 20°

__

(d) We know the three angles of a triangle have a sum of 180°, but that does not require it to be an acute triangle. A triangle can also be right or obtuse.

counterexample: m∠P = 10°, m∠Q = 20°, m∠R = 150°
