The measures of an exterior angle and the adjacent interior angle add up to 360 because they form a linear pair?
No. 360 degrees is a full circle. These two angles, when added together would form a straight line, or 180 degrees.
Two angles that fit together to form a right angle?
Those angles are called complimentary angles. They add up to 90 degrees. Two angles that add up to 180 degrees are called supplementary angles.
Which term describes two adjacent angles that form a right angle?
Complimentary angles
What if two angles of a triangle are complemenatr what is the measure of the third angle?
The sum of two complementary angles is 90 degrees. The three angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Hence, if you subtract the complementary angles from 180, you have the measure of the third angle: 180 - 90 = 90 (this is the third angle) As a rule, if two angles of a triangle are complementary, the third angle is a right angle (90 deg). The three angles together form a right triangle.
What is form when two complementary angles share one ray?
The complementary angles form a right angle with the shared ray.
