Can vertical angles be adjacent?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether vertical angles, which are formed by the intersection of two lines, can also be next to each other (adjacent). Vertical angles are opposite angles that are formed when two lines intersect, and by definition, they do not share a side. Therefore, the concept of vertical angles being adjacent contradicts their definition.
Answer
No, vertical angles can never be adjacent.
No, vertical angles can never be adjacent.
Answer for screen readers
No, vertical angles can never be adjacent.
More Information
Vertical angles are angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect. Because they do not share a common side, they cannot be adjacent.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing adjacent with vertical, as both occur at the intersection of two lines.
