Question 901564: I skipped concepts of geometry to straight geometry and don't understand what exactly a linear pair of angles would look like or mean. Please help me, thank you

Answer by Purple mathematician (9) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
" 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 definition is from google search but don't worry because the definition is correct
So according to the definition of a linear pair, it is formed when two lines intersect and that their angles are adjacent . So it will look like this...

.

And the sum of both angles (1 and 2) must be equal to 180 degrees.
