Question
What is the difference between adjacent angles and linear pair angles?
Open in App
Solution
Adjacent angles are angles that are next to each other i.e. two angles with one common arm.
All linear pairs are adjacent angles but all adjacent angles are not linear pairs.
Linear pairs are adjacent angles whose sum is equal to 180o.
In a linear pair, the arms of the angles that are not common are collinear i.e. they lie on a straight line.
