Is the following definition of supplementary reversible? If yes, write it as a true biconditional. Linear pairs of angles are supplementary. The statement is not reversible. Yes, if angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary. Yes, angles form a linear pair if (and only if) they are supplementary. Yes, angles are supplementary if they form a linear pair.

Linear pairs are the pair of angles that form when a line intersect another line. supplementary means that the angles add up to 180.

So C or D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry for the late response but it's not reversible, while all linear pairs of angles are supplementary aka they add up to 180 not all pairs of angles that add up to 180 are linear pairs. Think about the angles made with a transverse line crossing two parallel lines.
