    Angle A is acute.

    1. A ray extends right from endpoint S.
    2. A large arc is drawn through point R on ray S. A compass has needle at R and pencil drawing a small arc through T on the larger arc.
    3. A compass has pointer at endpoint S of ray S with pencil drawing a large arc through R on the ray.
    4. A compass has pointer at vertex A of angle A, with pencil drawing an arc through points B and C on the rays.
  2. What is the converse of the following statement?

    If a whole number has 0 as its last digit, then the number is evenly divisible by 10.

    1. If a number is evenly divisible by 10, then it is a whole number.
    2. If a whole number is divisible by 10, then it is an even number.
    3. If a whole number is evenly divisible by 10, then it has 0 as its last digit.
    4. If a whole number has 0 as its last digit, then it must be evenly divisible by 10.

    1. If a polygon is a pentagon, then it has many sides.
    2. If a polygon has two more sides than a quadrilateral, then it is a hexagon.
    3. If a polygon has more sides than a triangle, then it is a pentagon.
    4. If a polygon is a pentagon, then it has two more sides than a triangle.
