Best Answer

The two angles of a linear pair must add to 180 degrees. So if one is less than 90 degrees (acute) the other must be more than 90 degrees (obtuse).

Yes, unless they are both right angles.


Can two acute adjacent angles form a linear pair?

No, because they wouldn't add up to 180 degrees. An acute and obtuse COULD.

If the angle forming a linear pair in the ratio for racing Then find the measure of obtuse angle?

If two angles form a linear pair, you know their measures add up to 180 degrees (since going around a circle halfway is 180 degrees). So the measure of the obtuse angle is 180 degrees minus the other angle in the pair.


Does a pair of supplementary angles always sometimes or never include an obtuse angle and an acute angle?

Sometimes. Actually, it is nearly always, but not quite.
