  1. T measures 100°.
  2. T is an obtuse angle.
  3. T is not a right angle.
  4. T is an acute angle.
  1. If ∠T is an obtuse angle, then ∠T is not a right angle.

  2. T is a right angle.

  3. T is not a right angle and ∠T is an obtuse angle.

  4. T measures 100° or ∠T is not an acute angle.

  5. If ∠T is a right angle, then ∠T does not measure 100°.
    T measures 100°.
    Therefore, ∠T is not a right angle.
