About Linear Pairs
In geometry, a linear pair consists of two adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect or meet at a point. These angles share a common vertex and a common side, and their non-common sides are opposite rays forming a straight line. The sum of the measures of a linear pair of angles is always 180 degrees, making them supplementary angles. For example, if one angle is 60°, its linear pair angle is 180° - 60° = 120°. Linear pairs are fundamental in understanding geometric relationships and solving problems involving angles and lines. They are widely used in various fields of mathematics, architecture, and engineering for calculations and design.
