A. angles supplementary to the same angle are congruent B. I two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary C. If The sum of the measures of two angles is 180 degrees then they are supplementary D. All right angles are congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Stems from the definition of supplementary angles. All the angles which lie on one side of a line, when added, add up to 180 degrees. They are a linear pair.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We are not given that the sum of the measurements of the angles is 180 degrees. We recognize that they are a linear pair and therefore supplementary and therefore 180 degrees. The order of the information is crucial. So the answer is B. The starting point is recognizing that they are a linear pair.

okay, thanks!

It's not a trick question, but a cleverly-disguised question. We deduce that they are supplementary and then realize that supplementary angles add to 180. And you are quite welcome!
