Answer 2

Answer:

The given argument is valid by the law of detachment

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Detachment states that if the following two statements are true:

(1) If a , then b .

(2) a

Then we can say a third true statement:

(3) b.

Given:

1) If a triangle has an angle with a measure more than 90°, then the triangle is an obtuse triangle.

2) The measure of an angle in △ABC is 110°.

Let the statement a  be "If a triangle has an angle with a measure more than 90°" , and  b be the statement "the triangle is an obtuse triangle."

then, (1) and (2) can be written as:

1) If a , then b.

2) a

so, by the Law of Detachment, we can say that b is true i.e,

$\triangle ABC$ is an obtuse triangle.
