SOLUTION

The Linear Pair Theorem states that two angles that form a linear pair are supplementary; that is, their measures add up to 180 degrees.

For instance

Consider the image given

The measure of the angles are


\begin{gathered} 129^0and41^0 \\ \text{Hence } \\ A=129^0 \\ B=41^0 \end{gathered}

The sum of the angles is


\begin{gathered} 129^0+41^0=170^0 \\ \text{Hence the angles are not linear pair since the summation is not 180 degr}ees\text{ } \end{gathered}

From the image,

we can see that the angles are not linear pair and hence did not follow the linear pair thorem
