Question

An illustration shows five rays with points near the arrows labeled A, B, C, D, and E in a counterclockwise direction, emerging from a common point labeled O. The points A, O, and E fall on a straight line. All the four angles are marked but unlabeled.

Answer 1

To determine which angle(s) are adjacent to ∠DOC, we need to consider the definition of adjacent angles. Two angles are adjacent if they share a common vertex and a common side, but do not overlap.

In this case:

• ∠DOC has the rays OD and OC.
• The angles adjacent to ∠DOC would be the angles that share ray OC and ray OD.

Based on the configuration:

1. ∠EOD uses ray OD and a ray leading towards point E, making it adjacent to ∠DOC.
2. ∠COB uses ray OC and a ray leading towards point B, making it adjacent to ∠DOC.

Thus, the angles that are adjacent to ∠DOC are:

∠EOD and ∠COB (angle EOD and angle COB).
