If one angle of a linear pair is acute, then its other angle will be:

  • A.Acute
  • B.Obtuse
  • C.Right
  • D.Straight

Answer: B

A linear pair of angles are adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays. Their sum is always 180°.

An acute angle is less than 90°. Let the acute angle be x, where x < 90°.

The other angle will be 180° - x.

Since x < 90°, then 180° - x > 90°. An angle greater than 90° is an obtuse angle.
