Question

Identify the pair of angles shown in the figure. answers A. LINEAR PAIR B. COMPLEMENTARY C. CONGRUENT D. VERTICAL

Answer 1

linear pair

Explanation:

The two angles add together to form a straight line, which is 180 degrees.

These angles are supplementary, or a linear pair

Answer 2

Linear Pair.

Explanation:

Note that Line PS is a straight line, or that it's angle measurement = 180°.

The pair of angles you are looking at are ∠PQR & ∠SQR

Note that:

m∠PQR + m∠SQR = 180°, as angle PQR + angle RQS = angle PQS.

By definition of Linear Pair, the two angles, when added, must equal 180°, or form a straight line.
