If angles are congruent, then the measures of the angles are equal. Identify the contrapositive.

• If the measures of the angles are equal, then the angles are congruent.

• If angles are not congruent, then the measures of the angles are not equal.

• If the measures of the angles are not equal, then the angles are not congruent.

• If the angles are not congruent, then the measure of the angles are equal.
