Write the following statement in "if-then" form:

Right angles measure 90°.

Choose the correct answer below:

A. If an angle measures 90°, then it is a right angle.

B. If an angle is a right angle, then it measures 90°.

Answer :

Sure! Let's start by breaking the original statement down and then reformulating it into "if-then" form.

The given statement is: "Right angles measure 90°."

In this statement:
- Condition: The angle is a right angle.
- Result: The angle measures 90°.

When we convert this to an "if-then" form, we need to place the condition (being a right angle) in the "if" part and the result (measuring 90°) in the "then" part.

So, the "if-then" form of the statement "Right angles measure 90°" is:

"If an angle is a right angle, then it measures 90°."

Thus, the corresponding answer from the options given is:

B. "If an angle is a right angle, then it measures 90°."
