Question

The angles in a linear pair are $_______$

Open in App

Solution

∠POB and ∠POA are adjacent to each other and when the sum of adjacent angles is 180° then such angles form linear pairs of angles.
Thus, $∠ P O B + ∠ P O A = ∠ A O B = 180 °$
Hence, the angles in a linear pair are supplementary.
