Question

What is true about the statement "If two angles are right angles the angles have equal measure" and its converse "If two angles have equal measure then the two angles are right angles"?

• A. The statement is true but its converse is false
• B. The statement is false but its converse is true
• C. Both the statement and its converse are false
• D. Both the statement and its converse are true

Answer 1

Two right angles are always equal, each measuring 90 degrees.

However, two equal angles can be anything not necessarily equal to 90 degrees always.

Hence $A$ is correct.
