What is the definition of a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. The angles are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

If two angles are supplementary, what is the relationship between their measures?

Back

The sum of the measures of two supplementary angles is 180 degrees.

What is the formula to find the measure of an angle in a linear pair if one angle is expressed as a function of x?

Back

If angle 1 is expressed as m∠1 = (ax + b)° and angle 2 as m∠2 = (cx + d)°, then the equation is (ax + b) + (cx + d) = 180.

Front

Solve for x: m∠1 = (5x + 9)° and m∠2 = (3x + 11)° form a linear pair.

Back

x = 10, m∠1 = 59°, m∠2 = 121°.

What does it mean for a line segment to bisect an angle?

Back

A line segment bisects an angle if it divides the angle into two equal parts.

What is the equation to relate the lengths of two segments if one segment is expressed in terms of a variable?

Back

An example equation could be 2x + 22 = 12, where x represents a length.
