Adjacent Angles

Front

What are adjacent angles?

Back

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

Front

If two angles are adjacent and one measures 45°, what is the measure of the other angle if they form a linear pair?

Back

The other angle measures 135° because adjacent angles that form a linear pair add up to 180°.

What is the sum of the measures of two adjacent angles?

Back

The sum can vary; if they form a linear pair, it is 180°. Otherwise, it can be any value depending on the angles.

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, summing to 180°.

What is the relationship between adjacent angles and their measures?

Back

Adjacent angles can have any relationship; they can be complementary, supplementary, or neither.

If angle H is 90° and angle I is adjacent to angle H, what can we say about angle I if they are complementary?

Back

Angle I must be 0° because complementary angles add up to 90°.
