Which of the following pairs can form a linear pair?
a)Pair of complementary angles
b)Pair of supplementary angles
c)Pair of adjacent angles
Answers
A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. In the figure, ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair. So do ∠2 and ∠3 , ∠3 and ∠4 , and ∠1 and ∠4 .
Option C
Given : pair of angles
To Find : Which of the following pairs can form a linear pair
a)Pair of complementary angles
b)Pair of supplementary angles
c)Pair of adjacent angles
Solution:
Supplementary angles
Two angles are supplementary if their measures add up to 180°
Complementary Angles
Two angles are complementary if their measures add up to 90°
Adjacent angles with opposite rays as noncommon sides are called the linear pair. They form a straight angle.
Angles that have a common vertex and a common side are called adjacent angles.
Pair of supplementary angles and Adjacent angles can form a linear pair
But Adjacent angles not necessarily form a linear pair as shown in figure
But Pair of supplementary angles always form a linear pair
