Solution
It seems like you're asking for a counterexample to the statement "If the measures of ∠P, ∠Q, and ∠R sum to 180°, then all of the angles must be acute."
A counterexample is a specific case that disproves a statement or proposition. In this case, we need to find angles P, Q, and R that sum to 180° but are not all acute.
An acute angle is an angle less than 90°. So, if any of the angles P, Q, or R is 90° or more, it would serve as a counterexample.
For instance, let's say: m∠P = 90°, m∠Q = 60°, m∠R = 30°
The sum of these angles is 180°, but not all of them are acute because ∠P is a right angle, not an acute angle. Therefore, this is a counterexample to the statement.
