Q:

Is the following statement a good definition? Why? An obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 90°. A No, it is not. The statement contains false information. B Yes, it is. The definition is reversible. C Yes, it is. All obtuse angles have measures greater than 90°. D No, it is not. A straight angle has a measure greater than 90°, but it is not an obtuse angle.

Accepted Solution
