Exploring Linear Pairs and Vertical Angles

Mr. Dallas explains linear pairs and vertical angles, focusing on their definitions, properties, and examples. Linear pairs are adjacent angles that form a line, summing to 180 degrees, while vertical angles are opposite angles formed when two lines intersect, and they are congruent. The video includes problem-solving examples to reinforce these concepts.

What is a linear pair?

• Two angles that are equal

• Two angles that add up to 90 degrees

• Two angles that are opposite each other

• Two adjacent angles that form a line
