Question

in which diagram do angles 1 and 2 form a linear pair?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall linear pair definition

A linear pair of angles are adjacent (share a common side and vertex) and their non - common sides form a straight line (they are supplementary, sum to \(180^{\circ}\)).

Step2: Analyze first diagram

In the first diagram, angles 1 and 2 are vertical angles (opposite each other when two lines intersect). They are not adjacent and do not form a linear pair.

Step3: Analyze second diagram

In the second diagram, angles 1 and 2 share a common vertex and a common side. Also, their non - common sides form a straight line (since there is a right angle symbol and the other sides are arranged such that together with the right angle, the two angles 1 and 2 seem to be part of a straight - line formation when considering the right angle and the other rays). Wait, actually, let's re - examine. Wait, no, in the second diagram, the two angles 1 and 2, along with the right angle, but actually, the key is that a linear pair should be adjacent and form a straight line. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the first diagram: angles 1 and 2 are vertical angles (formed by two intersecting lines, opposite each other). The second diagram: angles 1 and 2 are adjacent and their non - common sides are in a straight line? Wait, no, let's think again. A linear pair is two adjacent angles that form a straight line (sum to \(180^{\circ}\)). In the first diagram, angles 1 and 2 are vertical angles (so they are equal and not a linear pair). In the second diagram, if we look at the rays, the angle between the horizontal ray and the vertical ray is a right angle, and angles 1 and 2 are adjacent and their non - common sides (the outer rays) form a straight line? Wait, no, maybe the second diagram: the two angles 1 and 2 are adjacent, and their non - common sides are collinear (form a straight line). Wait, actually, the correct analysis is: in the first diagram, angles 1 and 2 are vertical angles (intersecting lines, opposite), so not linear pair. In the second diagram, angles 1 and 2 are adjacent and their non - common sides form a straight line (so they are a linear pair). Wait, maybe the original problem's second diagram (the one with the right angle) has angles 1 and 2 that are adjacent and their non - common sides make a straight line. Wait, perhaps I mis - labeled. Wait, let's correct: A linear pair must be adjacent (share a side and vertex) and the other two sides form a straight line. In the first diagram, angles 1 and 2 are vertical (no common side, just common vertex, opposite), so not linear pair. In the second diagram, angles 1 and 2 share a common side and vertex, and their non - common sides are in a straight line (so they form a linear pair). Wait, but maybe the first diagram is two intersecting lines, angles 1 and 2 are vertical. The second diagram: the two angles 1 and 2 are adjacent and form a linear pair. So the answer should be the second diagram (the one with the right angle - looking figure, but actually, the key is that linear pair is adjacent and supplementary, forming a straight line).

Answer:

The diagram with angles 1 and 2 that are adjacent and their non - common sides form a straight line (the second diagram among the two shown, the one with the right - angle - like vertex and the two angles 1 and 2 sharing a side and vertex and forming a straight line with their non - common sides).
