Question

Angles between South and West and South and East are

• A. vertically opposite angles
• B. complementary angles
• C. making a linear pair
• D. adjacent but not supplementary

Answer 1

The correct option is C

making a linear pair

Understand that linear pairs of angles are those pairs of angles that are constructed by a common pair of rays or line segments.

Refer to figure.

Angle between South and West is $90°$ and between South and East is $90°$. The sum is $180°$

It is clear from the figure that the angles between South and West and South and East are linear pairs of angles.

Hence, the correct option is (c) i.e. making a linear pair.
