If AOB is a right angle, which statement is true?
where is statement?
|dw:1412106206711:dw|
a) angle DOA is adjacent to angle BOC, b) angle DOA and angle BOC are vertical angles. c) angle DOC is acute d)all of the above

i'm thinkin a would be the answer
Here are adjacent angles. Look at figure below, where angles 1 and 2 are adjacent. |dw:1412106774719:dw|
Adjacent angles are just what the word "adjacent" means. They are next to each other. They must have a common side and one cannot be inside the other one.
Are angles DOA and BOC really adjacent angles?
no because they are congruent

note: this drawing is not to scale Here we can see that all of the angles are formed from intersecting lines that meet with AOB. Also, we can see that these angles all add up to 180 degrees (since they are all supplementary) So that means that the sum of all of the angles is 180 So it can be translated to.... 5x%2B%283x%2B30%29%2B%282x%2B10%29=180 5x%2B3x%2B30%2B2x%2B10=180 Remove the parenthesis 10x%2B40=180 Combine like terms on the left side 10x=180-40Subtract 40 from both sides 10x=140 Combine like terms on the right side x=%28140%29%2F%2810%29 Divide both sides by 10 to isolate x x=14 Divide -------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: So our answer is x=14
You are correct that the aren't, but it's not because they are congruent. Those two angles are not next to each other. That's why they are not adjacent. A is not correct.
they must be vertical then right? and hi raven she's my fave
Correct. They are vertical.
Thanks you guys!
BTW, they are vertical because of their positions. It has nothing to do with angle AOB being a right angle.
