Question

which angle number represents the linear pair of ∠sxt?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of a linear pair

A linear pair of angles is formed when two adjacent angles form a straight line (sum to \(180^{\circ}\)).

Step2: Identify the adjacent angle to \(\angle SXT\)

Looking at the diagram, \(\angle SXT\) (angle \(1\)) and \(\angle 2\) are adjacent and form a straight line \(RS\) with the transversal \(TU\).

Answer:

\(\angle 2\)
