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°
