Angles and Their Relationships
- Adjacent Angles: Defined as two angles sharing a common vertex and a common side, with no overlapping interior points.
- Vertical Angles: Formed by two straight lines intersecting, creating opposite angles that are equal in measure. They are not adjacent and are located at opposite corners of the "X" shape created.
- Supplementary Angles: Two angles that total 180 degrees. While often arranged to create a straight line (forming a linear pair), they are not required to be positioned that way.
- Complementary Angles: Two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees, often found in right-angle relationships.
- Linear Pair: Comprises two adjacent angles where the non-common sides create opposite rays. This means that the angles must be side by side.
