The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is correct, we need to analyze each statement one by one based on our understanding of angles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the First Statement:** - The first statement claims that a right angle is half of a revolution. - A revolution is defined as a complete circle, which measures 360 degrees. - A right angle measures 90 degrees. - To check if the statement is true, we can calculate: \[ \text{Half of a revolution} = \frac{360 \text{ degrees}}{2} = 180 \text{ degrees} \] - Since 90 degrees (right angle) is not equal to 180 degrees, the first statement is **incorrect**. **Hint:** Remember that a right angle is 90 degrees, which is one-fourth of a revolution (360 degrees). 2. **Understanding the Second Statement:** - The second statement claims that a straight angle is half of a revolution. - A straight angle measures 180 degrees. - We already calculated half of a revolution: \[ \text{Half of a revolution} = 180 \text{ degrees} \] - Since a straight angle is indeed 180 degrees, the second statement is **correct**. **Hint:** A straight angle is exactly half of a full circle (360 degrees). 3. **Understanding the Third Statement:** - The third statement claims that the measure of a reflex angle is always greater than a straight angle. - A reflex angle is defined as an angle that is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees. - Therefore, a reflex angle can be any angle from just above 180 degrees up to 360 degrees. - Since reflex angles are always greater than 180 degrees (straight angle), this statement is also **correct**. **Hint:** Reflex angles are always larger than straight angles. 4. **Understanding the Fourth Statement:** - The fourth statement seems to claim something about angles formed in one revolution. - A revolution is 360 degrees, but it does not specify any particular angle type. - This statement is vague and cannot be considered correct without further clarification. **Hint:** A revolution simply refers to a complete turn, which is always 360 degrees. ### Final Conclusion: - The correct statements are: - The second statement (a straight angle is half of a revolution) is **correct**. - The third statement (the measure of a reflex angle is always greater than a straight angle) is also **correct**. - The first statement is incorrect, and the fourth statement is vague. Thus, the answer is that the second and third statements are correct.
