Theorem 3.10: Paragraph Proof 2 m n Given: 1 & 2 form a linear pair. 1 2. Prove: m n. Since 1 & 2 form a linear pair, their sum is 180 degrees. They are also congruent, which means they have the same measure. So, each angle must be 90 degrees. This means the angles are right angles, and hence the lines are perpendicular by definition.
