Math Problem Statement
Which angles are adjacent angles?
Solution
In the diagram provided, two parallel lines, and , are intersected by two transversal lines. The question is asking which angles are adjacent.
Adjacent angles share a common vertex and a common side, but do not overlap. They are next to each other in the diagram.
Now, looking at the given options:
- and : These angles are not adjacent because they do not share a common vertex or side.
- and : These angles are also not adjacent since they are far from each other.
- and : These two angles do not share a side or vertex.
- and : These angles are adjacent because they share the vertex and side .
Thus, the correct answer is and .
