What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles consists of two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight line. The sum of the angles in a linear pair is always 180 degrees.

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal in measure.

If angle 4 measures 70 degrees, what is the measure of angle 2 if they are part of a linear pair?

Back

Angle 2 also measures 70 degrees because it is adjacent to angle 4, and they form a linear pair.

What is the relationship between the angles in a linear pair?

Back

The angles in a linear pair are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Can two angles be both adjacent and vertical?

Back

No, two angles cannot be both adjacent and vertical. Adjacent angles share a side, while vertical angles are opposite each other and do not share a side.
