What is the type of other angle of a linear pair if one of its angles is right

Solution:

Given, in a linear pair one of the angles is right.

We have to find the type of other angle.

Consider two angles x and y,

Linear pairs of angles are formed when two lines intersect each other at a single point.

Linear pair angles are supplementary angles as their sum is 180°.

So, x + y = 180°

A right angle is an angle that measures 90 degrees.

Let the right angle x be 90°

So, 90° + y = 180°

y = 180° - 90°

y = 90°

Since y is equal to 90°, the other angle is also a right angle.

Therefore, the type of other angle is right.
