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).

If one angle of a linear pair is obtuse than the other is?

Oh, isn't that interesting? When we have a linear pair of angles, one angle is always supplementary to the other. So if one angle is obtuse, which means it's more than 90 degrees, then the other angle must be acute, which means it's less than 90 degrees. It's all about balancing each other out, just like adding a touch of light to a dark painting to create harmony.


Can a pair of obtuse angle form linear pair?

no


Why is two obtuse angles greater than a straight angle and a acute angle?

Either pair can be greater..


Does a pair of supplementary angles include a obtuse angle and an acute angle?

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.


Does a rhombus have acute and obtuse angles?

Yes, a rhombus can have both acute and obtuse angles. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length, but its angles can vary. Since the opposite angles of a rhombus are congruent, if one angle is acute (less than 90 degrees), then the opposite angle will also be acute. Similarly, if one angle is obtuse (greater than 90 degrees), then the opposite angle will also be obtuse.


How do two intesecting line but not perpendicular look?

They make a pair of acute angles and a pair of obtuse angles. In rotational order, the angles are acute, obtuse, acute, obtuse.


What quadrilateral has two right angles one acute angle one obtuse angle and two pair of parallel lines?

paralellogram


Is a trapezoid acute or obtuse?

A trapezoid has a pair of equal valued obtuse and a pair of equal valued acute angles.


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.


Does one of the angles in a linear pair of angles have to be obtuse?

True , but remember there cannot be two obtuse. Must be one acute & one obtuse. * * * * * NOT always true. Both may be right angles.
