Math Problem Statement
Which angles are adjacent angles in the given diagram?
Solution
To determine which angles are adjacent, let's first define adjacent angles:
Adjacent angles are two angles that share a common side and a common vertex but do not overlap.
In this diagram:
- is formed by lines and .
- We need to find an angle that shares a common side with .
Let's analyze each option:
-
and :
- These angles do not share a common side or vertex, so they are not adjacent.
-
and :
- These angles also do not share a common side or vertex, so they are not adjacent.
-
and :
- These two angles share the common vertex and the common side . Thus, they are adjacent angles.
-
and :
- These angles do not share a common side or vertex, so they are not adjacent.
The correct answer is: and .
