Angle Pairs - all kinds

Front

What are adjacent angles?

Back

Adjacent angles are two angles that share a common side and a common vertex, but do not overlap.

Front

What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles consists of two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight line.

Front

Define complementary angles.

Back

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

Front

Define supplementary angles.

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

What is an acute angle?

Back

An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees.

Front

What is a right angle?

Back

A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.

Front

What is an obtuse angle?

Back

An obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

Front

What is a straight angle?

Back

A straight angle is an angle that measures exactly 180 degrees.

Front

Identify a pair of adjacent angles: ∠CXD and ∠FXE, ∠CXF and ∠DXE, ∠CXD and ∠DXE.

Back

∠CXD and ∠DXE are adjacent angles.
