Question
Solution
If the sum of the measures of two angles is 180° they are known as supplementary angles.
The sum of the measures of the angles in a linear pair is 180°.
Therefore, angles in a linear pair are always supplementary and so Angles in a linear pair which are complementary cannot be drawn.
