3. If two angles have equal measures, then the measure of each is 28 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

For an implication if p then q, the converse is if q then p.

Here, we have the clauses ...

p = each of two angles has a measure of 28°

q = the two angles are equal in measure

So, the converse is written as ...

If two angles are equal in measure, each has a measure of 28°.

This statement most closely matches statement 3.
