<1 and <2 form a linear pair. If m<1 = 5x + 9 and m<2 = 3x + 11, find the measures of both angles.
A linear pair of angles is formed when two adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees and share a common side. In other words, the angles are adjacent and form a straight line.
To identify a linear pair of angles, look for two adjacent angles that share a common side and add up to 180 degrees. You can also check if the angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.
No, a linear pair of angles cannot be formed by two obtuse angles. This is because two obtuse angles, which are greater than 90 degrees, cannot add up to 180 degrees.
Yes, two acute angles can form a linear pair as long as they are adjacent and add up to 180 degrees. This is because two acute angles, which are less than 90 degrees, can add up to 180 degrees.
Linear pairs are a special type of adjacent angles where the two angles add up to 180 degrees. Not all adjacent angles form a linear pair, but all linear pairs are adjacent angles.
