Question: what is the difference between a linear pair and a pair of supplementary angles?
Answer: A Linear Pair is two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form opposite rays. ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair. ... If two angles form a linear pair, the angles are supplementary. A linear pair forms a straight angle which contains 180º, so you have 2 angles whose measures add to 180, which means they are supplementary.
