Math Problem Statement

Which angles are adjacent angles?

Solution

To determine which angles are adjacent in the provided diagram, we can use the following criteria:

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

For the given diagram:

  1. Angles that are next to each other at intersections (e.g., at JJ or MM) are adjacent.
  2. They share a vertex and a side formed by the intersecting lines.

Examples of adjacent angles in the diagram:

  1. At vertex JJ:

    • IJH\angle IJH and HJK\angle HJK
    • IJH\angle IJH and LJM\angle LJM
    • LJM\angle LJM and MJN\angle MJN
    • HJK\angle HJK and MJN\angle MJN
  2. At vertex MM:

    • LJM\angle LJM and MJN\angle MJN
    • MJN\angle MJN and NJO\angle NJO
    • NJO\angle NJO and HJM\angle HJM
    • HJM\angle HJM and LJM\angle LJM
