Math Problem Statement

From this figure write a pair of vertically opposite angles and adjacent complementary angles and linear pair and adjacent angles that do not form a linear pair

From this figure write a pair of vertically opposite angles and adjacent complementary angles and linear pair and adjacent angles that do not form a linear pair.

Solution

In the given diagram, we can see a set of intersecting lines at point OO, forming various angles with labeled points PP, QQ, RR, and SS.

1. Vertically Opposite Angles:

  • Vertically opposite angles are angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect.
  • In this diagram, the pair of vertically opposite angles are:
    • POQ\angle POQ and ROS\angle ROS
    • POS\angle POS and QOR\angle QOR

2. Adjacent Complementary Angles:

  • Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90°.
  • If there are any pairs of adjacent angles that add up to 90°, they would be complementary. However, from the diagram, there is no clear indication that any of these angles are complementary, as no measures are given.

3. Linear Pair:

  • A linear pair is formed when two adjacent angles add up to 180° (forming a straight line).
  • The linear pairs in the diagram are:
    • POQ\angle POQ and QOR\angle QOR
    • ROS\angle ROS and SOP\angle SOP

4. Adjacent Angles That Do Not Form a Linear Pair:

  • Adjacent angles are angles that share a common arm.
  • In this diagram, adjacent angles that do not form a linear pair include:
    • POQ\angle POQ and POS\angle POS
    • ROS\angle ROS and ROQ\angle ROQ

Would you like more details on any specific part of the solution?

Here are some follow-up questions you might explore:

  1. How do vertically opposite angles always relate to each other in measure?
  2. Can adjacent angles be complementary and linear at the same time?
  3. What is the significance of the sum of angles in a linear pair?
  4. Why can't vertically opposite angles form a linear pair?
  5. How do you determine whether adjacent angles are complementary in any diagram?

Tip: Vertically opposite angles are always equal, which makes them useful when finding unknown angle measures in intersecting line problems!
