Adjacent angles are the pair of angles formed when two lines intersect each other. These angles are formed at the point where the intersection occurs, and are adjacent to eachother - hence its name. Another pair of angles that are formed at the intersection of two straight lines are the opposite angles, but this pair of angles are opposite at the vertex and not adjacent, so we should not confuse them with adjacent angles. Adjacent angles are always supplementary, that is, together they equal .
The following illustration shows two examples of what adjacent angles look like. One example is red and the other blue.
