If two congruent angles form a linear pair, then __________. A. one angle is acute and the other angle is obtuse B. they are both right angles C. they are both acute angles D. they are both obtuse angles

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

linear pair angles add up to 180

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

lets call both congruent angles, x

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

x + x = 180

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

2x = 180 x = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=90

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

yes, if an angle is 90, we call it right angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so you would need 2 right angles? Since a line has to be equal 180.

b

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):
