Read the statements and then answer the question that follows.

Question

Given: If an angle has a measure greater than 90°, then it is an obtuse angle. ∠Ahas a measure of 120°.

Is it possible to apply the Law of Detachment to conclude that ∠A is an obtuse angle?

A.
yes

B.
no

Answer 1

A. yes

Since the statement given is "If an angle has a measure greater than 90°, then it is an obtuse angle" and ∠A has a measure of 120° which is greater than 90°, we can apply the Law of Detachment to conclude that ∠A is an obtuse angle.
