Given the statement "if

then

", the converse of the statement is "if

then

"

In your case, you have

If an angle measures 94�, then it is obtuse. So your

is "an angle measures 94�" and your

is "it is obtuse" Knowing that, let's construct the converse:

If an angle is obtuse, then it measures 94�

Counter example: 110� is an obtuse angle that does not measure 94�
