LINEAR PAIR AND ADJACENT ANGLES

∠ 𝐴𝐵𝐹 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠ 𝐶𝐵𝐹


Adjacent angles are two angles which have a common vertex
and a common side but have no common interior points.

Linear Pair of Angles


In geometry, a linear pair of angles is a pair of adjacent angles
formed when two lines intersect each other. Adjacent angles are
formed when two angles have a common vertex and a common arm
but do not overlap. The linear pair of angles are always
supplementary as they form on a straight line. In other words, the
sum of two angles in a linear pair is always 180 degrees.
