What is the relation between adjacent angle and linear pair?

Open in App
Solution

A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect.
Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines.
The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

The above given angles form a linear pair and are adjacent angles too.
