which type of angle pair can be described as supplementary and adjecent? a. vertical angles b. linear pair c. complementary angles d. supplementary angles

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

supplementary angles add to what?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

90 degrees or 180 degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and adjacent angles are what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

90 degrees

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, that's complementary angles

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

say we had the two angles |dw:1349929804268:dw| are they adjacent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

are they touching?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so they can't be adjacent

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what about these two angles |dw:1349929935555:dw| are they adjacent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

close, but still no they need to share a common side (and not just a vertex)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

these two angles are adjacent though |dw:1349930013492:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

since they share the common side (the middle segment)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and so are these |dw:1349930047096:dw|
