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:

  1. ∠QPR and ∠NMP: These angles do not share a common side or vertex, so they are not adjacent.
  2. ∠LMK and ∠OPR: These angles do not share a common side or vertex, so they are not adjacent.
  3. ∠NMK and ∠LMP: These angles share the vertex MM and the side MK\overrightarrow{MK}, making them adjacent.
  4. ∠LMP and ∠LMK: These two angles overlap as they both include the angle LMK\angle LMK, so they are not adjacent.

Thus, the correct answer is ∠NMK and ∠LMP, which are adjacent angles.
