HELP OUT GUYS...plz asap thx

[this problem has 3 questions]

Use the law of detachment or the law of sylogism to determine a conclusion that follows from statements (1) and (2)
If a valid conclusion does not follow, write no valid conclusion.

(1) if a triangle is a right triangle , then it has two acute anges.
(2) triangle ABC is a right triangle

I wrote:
p = a triangle is a right triangle
q = it has two acute angles
p --> q
law of detachment

(1) if three points are noncollinear,then they determine a plane
(2) points A,B,and C are coplanar

I wrote :
Law of Syllogism
a implies b, b impies c, a implies c
a -->b , b-->c, a--.c

noncollinear- points that do not lie on a single line
coplanar - lying in the same plane , any sets of three points are coplanar

(1) all circles have diameters whose measure is twice the measure of the radius.
(2) AB is a radius of circle B

I wrote:
p = all circles have diameters
q = measure is twice the measure of the radius

p --> q
LAW OF DETACHMENT

( teacher gave me an x...no what can  i do )
