180° measures more than 90°, so according to the given statement, a plane angle is also an obtuse angle, and that is incorrect. From that, we conclude that the statement is not a good definition.

<h3>Is the following statement a good definition? </h3>

The given statement is:

"An obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 90°."

This is the common, but incorrect, definition for obtuse angles.

We know that an angle that measures 180° is called a plane angle and by definition, a plane angle is not an obtuse angle.

And the angles larger than 180° (and smaller than 360°) are the reflex angles.

Now, 180° measures more than 90°, so according to the given statement, a plane angle is also an obtuse angle, and that is incorrect. From that, we conclude that the statement is not a good definition.

 what is 16/10 as a mixed number in simplest form. I don't get it?
Ivenika [448]
16/10 as a mixed number is 1 6/10.

I got this answer by finding out how many times 10 goes into 16, evenly. I got 1, and put that as a whole number. 6 was leftover, so I put that for the numerator. Then, I kept the denominator same, which was 10.


1 6/10 simplified is 1 3/5.

I got this answer by finding out what number goes both into 10 and 6, evenly. The GCF, or Greatest Common Factor, was 2. I divided 6 by 2 and 10 by 2. I then got 3 and 5.
3 was the numerator, and 5 is the denominator.

Again, 16/10 in simplest form is 1 3/5.
