Because linear pairs are complementary, the remaining two angles must also be right angles. true or false?

\large\boxed{\textsf{False.}}


\Large\underline{\textsf{What are Linear Pairs?}}


\textsf{Linear Pairs are 2 angles that form a straight angle.}


\textsf{Straight angles are equal to 180}^(\circ).


\textsf{Complementary angles are 2 angles that form a right angle.}


\textsf{Right angles are equal to 90}^(\circ).


\textsf{Because Linear Pairs are equal to 180}^(\circ), \textsf{Linear Pairs are Supplementary.}


\textsf{For this problem, if linear pairs are complementary, the other 2 angles will be 90}^(\circ)?


\textsf{False, assuming we are referring to angles that add up to 360}^(\circ).


\textsf{The angles would add up to 270}^(\circ) \ \textsf{instead.}
