Adjacent angles - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Alternate angles are a pair of angles that can be found on the opposite side of a line that cuts two parallel lines.

Furthermore, these angles are located on the opposite level of the corresponding line that they belong to.

First let's remember that corresponding angles can be defined as a pair of angles that can be found on the same side of a transversal line that intersects two parallel lines.

Additionally, these angles are positioned at the same level relative to the parallel line to which they belong.

Let's remember that vertical angles are angles that are formed when two lines intersect. They are are created at the point of intersection and are opposite each other.

Let's review the definition of adjacent angles:

Adjacent angles are angles formed where there are two straight lines that intersect. These angles are formed at the point where the intersection occurs, one next to the other, and hence their name.

Now let's review the definition of collateral angles:

Two angles formed when two or more parallel lines are intersected by a third line. The collateral angles are on the same side of the intersecting line and even are at different heights in relation to the parallel line to which they are adjacent.

Therefore, answer C is correct for this definition.

Remember that adjacent angles are angles that are formed when two lines intersect one another.

These angles are created at the point of intersection, one adjacent to the other, and that's where their name comes from.

Adjacent angles always complement one another to one hundred and eighty degrees, meaning their sum is 180 degrees.
