Question

If angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair and m angle 1 = 72°, find m angle 2.

a.
18°
c.
144°
b.
72°
d.
108°

Answer 1

180-72 is the answer. D. 108

Answer 2

Well since it's a linear pair it equals to 180 degrees. So if angle 1 is 72 degrees, all you have to do to find angle 2 is subtract 72 from 180, and you have 108 degrees.
