Math Problem Statement
Which angles are adjacent angles?
Solution
Adjacent angles are two angles that share a common vertex and a common side, but do not overlap.
In the diagram, we need to find two angles that meet this criterion. Let's analyze the options:
- ∠QPR and ∠NMP: These angles do not share a common side or vertex, so they are not adjacent.
- ∠LMK and ∠OPR: These angles do not share a common side or vertex, so they are not adjacent.
- ∠NMK and ∠LMP: These angles share the vertex and the side , making them adjacent.
- ∠LMP and ∠LMK: These two angles overlap as they both include the angle , so they are not adjacent.
Thus, the correct answer is ∠NMK and ∠LMP, which are adjacent angles.
