A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.
linear pair means that the angles which form on the same line and add up to 180.

What is the Linear Pair conjecture?
The linear pair conjecture states that if two angles form a linear pair, the sum of the angles is 180 degrees.
What is the Linear pair theorem?
Actually, it's the Linear Pair Postulate, which is... If two angles form a linear pair, then they are supplementary; that is, the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.
Can a pair of obtuse angle form linear pair?
no
What is the linear pair postulate?
1. Where the angles in a linear pair are supplementry, and if parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the interior angles are congruent, and if two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate interior angles are congruent, then the two lines are parallel. That's what makes up a linear pair postulate anyway. 2. If two adjacent angle's unshared sides form a straight angle, then they are a linear pair. 3.If two angles form a linear pair,then they are supplementary.
Do complementary angles form a linear pair?
A linear pair is two angles that add up to be 180o.A linear pair is two adjacent, supplementary angles.Adjacent means they share ONE ray.Supplementary means add up to be 180o.Complementary means they add up to be 90o.No, complementary angles cannot EVER form a linear pair.
