Understand the problem

Does the drawing show an adjacent angle?

2

Step-by-step solution

Adjacent angles are angles whose sum together is 180 degrees.

In the attached drawing, it is evident that there is no angle of 180 degrees, and no pair of angles can create such a situation.

Therefore, in the drawing there are no adjacent angles.

Final Answer

Not true

Key Points to Remember

Essential concepts to master this topic
  • Definition: Adjacent angles share a common vertex and side only
  • Technique: Check if angles are next to each other without overlapping
  • Verification: Adjacent angles must add up to 180° when on a straight line ✓

Common Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors
  • Confusing adjacent angles with supplementary angles
    Don't assume all angles that add to 180° are adjacent = wrong identification! Adjacent angles must also share a vertex and common side physically. Always check both the angle sum AND the physical position requirements.

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

What exactly makes two angles adjacent?

+

Two angles are adjacent when they: (1) share the same vertex point, (2) have one side in common, and (3) don't overlap each other. Think of them as neighboring angles!

Do adjacent angles always add up to 180 degrees?

+

No! Adjacent angles only add to 180° when they form a linear pair on a straight line. Adjacent angles can have any sum - they just need to be next to each other.

In this drawing, why aren't there adjacent angles?

+

Looking at the intersection, while there are angles formed, no pair of angles shares exactly one common side while being positioned next to each other without gaps or overlaps.

How can I quickly identify adjacent angles in a diagram?

+

Look for angles that are touching each other! They should share a vertex and have exactly one ray in common between them, like two puzzle pieces fitting together.

What's the difference between adjacent and vertical angles?

+

Adjacent angles are next to each other and share a side. Vertical angles are opposite each other when two lines intersect - they don't share any sides but are always equal!
