No

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Definition: Adjacent angles share a vertex and common side only
  • Technique: Triangle vertices form three separate angles, not adjacent pairs
  • Check: Adjacent angles must touch at exactly one point with shared ray ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Confusing angles in triangles as adjacent
    Don't assume angles that meet at a vertex are adjacent = wrong identification! Triangle interior angles are separate, each formed by two sides. Always check if angles share a common side and vertex without overlapping.

If one of two corresponding angles is a right angle, then the other angle will also be a right angle.

FAQ

Everything you need to know about this question

Why aren't the angles in this triangle adjacent?

+

In a triangle, each angle is formed by two sides meeting at a vertex. These angles are separate interior angles, not adjacent angles that share a common ray.

What would make two angles adjacent?

+

Adjacent angles must share a vertex AND a common side (ray), with no overlap between them. Think of two puzzle pieces touching at exactly one edge.

Can angles in a triangle ever be adjacent?

+

No! Triangle interior angles are always separate because each is formed by different pairs of sides. Adjacent angles require sharing a common ray between them.

How do I identify adjacent angles in any diagram?

+

Look for two angles that:

  • Share the same vertex
  • Have one side in common
  • Don't overlap

If any condition is missing, they're not adjacent!

What's the difference between adjacent and vertical angles?

+

Adjacent angles share a side and don't overlap. Vertical angles are opposite each other when two lines intersect - they're equal but not adjacent!
