Question

Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one of the angles is 62º.

What is the measure of the other angle in the linear pair?


118º

62º

28º

Answer 1

Linear pair angles add up to 180 degrees

The measure of the other angle in the linear pair is

How to determine the other angle

The first angle of the linear pair is given as:

$a = 62^o$

Assume the second angle is b, then we have the following equation

$a +b =180^o$

Substitute known values

$62^o +b =180^o$

Subtract 62 degrees from both sides

$b =118^o$

Hence, the measure of the other angle in the linear pair is 118 degrees
