Let's solve each part of the
Linear Pairs worksheet step by step.
---
Part A: Find the measure of the indicated angle in each linear pair.
A
linear pair consists of two adjacent angles that form a straight line. Their measures add up to
180°.

1)
We are given an angle of
58°, and we need to find $ m\angle 1 $, which is its supplement.
$$
m\angle 1 = 180^\circ - 58^\circ = 122^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{122^\circ} $
---
####
2)
Given: $ m\angle 2 = 127^\circ $
$$
m\angle DGH = 180^\circ - 127^\circ = 53^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{53^\circ} $
---
####
3)
Given: $ m\angle 3 = 149^\circ $
$$
m\angle GCP = 180^\circ - 149^\circ = 31^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{31^\circ} $
---
####
4)
Given: $ m\angle 4 = 62^\circ $
$$
m\angle BDE = 180^\circ - 62^\circ = 118^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{118^\circ} $
---
Part B: If ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair and $ m\angle 1 = 2 \times m\angle 2 $, find the measures of the angles.
Let:
- $ m\angle 2 = x $
- Then $ m\angle 1 = 2x $
Since they form a linear pair:
$$
m\angle 1 + m\angle 2 = 180^\circ \\
2x + x = 180^\circ \\
3x = 180^\circ \\
x = 60^\circ
$$
So:
- $ m\angle 2 = 60^\circ $
- $ m\angle 1 = 2 \times 60^\circ = 120^\circ $
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{120^\circ} $ and $ \boxed{60^\circ} $
---
C: If the difference in the measures of a linear pair of angles is $ 42^\circ $, find the measures of the angles.
Let the two angles be $ x $ and $ y $. Since they are a linear pair:
$$
x + y = 180^\circ \quad \text{(1)}
$$
And the difference is $ 42^\circ $. Assume $ x > y $, so:
$$
x - y = 42^\circ \quad \text{(2)}
$$
Now solve the system:
Add equations (1) and (2):
$$
(x + y) + (x - y) = 180 + 42 \\
2x = 222 \\
x = 111^\circ
$$
Substitute into (1):
$$
111 + y = 180 \Rightarrow y = 69^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{111^\circ} $ and $ \boxed{69^\circ} $

D: Two angles form a linear pair. If the measure of one angle is five times the measure of the other, what are the measures of the angles?
Let:
- Smaller angle = $ x $
- Larger angle = $ 5x $
They form a linear pair:
$$
x + 5x = 180^\circ \\
6x = 180^\circ \\
x = 30^\circ
$$
So:
- Smaller angle = $ 30^\circ $
- Larger angle = $ 5 \times 30^\circ = 150^\circ $
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{30^\circ} $ and $ \boxed{150^\circ} $
---
