    📐 A 5-Item Multiple Choice Quiz on Angle Pairs

    As you embark on your geometry journey, let's test your understanding of some fundamental angle pair concepts by taking a quiz. We'll focus on complementary angles, supplementary angles, vertical angles, adjacent angles, and linear pairs.

    🔹 Complementary Angles

    Question 1: Which pair of angles, whose sum is always (90^\circ), are called complementary angles?

    A) Two angles that share a vertex and are on opposite sides of a transversal line B) Two angles that have different measures but add up to (90^\circ) C) Two angles of a straight line D) Two angles with the same measure that add up to (180^\circ)

    Answer: B) Two angles that have different measures but add up to (90^\circ)

    Example: Angle A and Angle B in the right triangle are complementary since (m\angle A + m\angle B = 90^\circ).

    🔶 Supplementary Angles

    Question 2: Two angles that add up to (180^\circ) are called supplementary angles.

    A) False B) True

    Answer: B) True

    Example: If Angle A and Angle B are interior angles of a straight line, then they are supplementary.

    🟣 Vertical Angles

    Question 3: Two non-adjacent angles that form a linear pair are called vertical angles.

    A) True B) True

    Answer: A) True

    Example: In the figure, if line m and line n intersect at point P, then (\angle 1) and (\angle 3) are vertical angles, as are (\angle 2) and (\angle 4).

    🟦 Adjacent Angles

    Question 4: Two angles whose vertices lie on the same ray, called a transversal, and share a side are called adjacent angles.

    A) True B) True

    Answer: A) True

    Example: In the figure, if line m and line n intersect at point P, then (\angle 1) and (\angle 2) are adjacent angles.

    🟩 Linear Pairs

    Question 5: A set of four angles formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines is called a linear pair.

    A) True B) True

    Answer: A) True

    Example: In the figure, when line m intersects parallel lines n and p at points Q and R, the four angles formed are a linear pair.

    📝 Review

    In the quiz, we explored the following concepts related to angle pairs:

    1. Complementary angles: Two angles with different measures that add up to (90^\circ).
    2. Supplementary angles: Two angles that add up to (180^\circ).
    3. Vertical angles: Two non-adjacent angles that form a linear pair.
    4. Adjacent angles: Two angles whose vertices lie on the same ray and share a side.
    5. Linear pairs: A set of four angles formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines.

    Understanding these angle pair concepts is essential in the study of geometry, as they form the foundation for theorems and theorems-in-proofs that follow. So now that you've worked through this quiz, you're well on your way to mastering these fundamental ideas!
