Question

linear pairs of angles are supplementary. if two angles add up to 180 but are not adjacent to each other, then they are not linear pairs of angles. is this deductive or inductive reasoning?

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning starts with general principles (linear pairs of angles are supplementary) and applies them to specific cases (two non - adjacent angles adding to 180 are not linear pairs). Inductive reasoning goes from specific observations to general conclusions. Here, we are using a general rule to make a specific conclusion.

Answer:

Deductive reasoning
