if an angle measures more than 90 degrees then it is an obtuse angle what is the converse of the statement
Acute might be the right word ; )
The converse of the statement " If A , then B. " is " If B , then A. "
A `conditional statement` is of the form "if P, then Q". P and Q are symbols for more complicated expressions. For example P = it rains Q = the grass gets wet \[\Large {\color{black}{\text{ If }}}{\color{red}{\text{P }}}{\color{black}{\text{, then }}}{\color{blue}{\text{Q }}}\] \[\Large {\color{black}{\text{If }}}{\color{red}{\text{it rains }}}{\color{black}{\text{, then }}}{\color{blue}{\text{the grass gets wet }}}\]
The converse is simply where you swap the two portions of the conditional statement Original: If P, then Q Converse: If Q, then P \[\Large {\color{black}{\text{ If }}}{\color{blue}{\text{Q }}}{\color{black}{\text{, then }}}{\color{red}{\text{P }}}\] \[\Large {\color{black}{\text{ If }}}{\color{blue}{\text{the grass gets wet }}}{\color{black}{\text{, then }}}{\color{red}{\text{it rains }}}\]
NB, just because a statement is true, does not imply that its converse is true.
