what two things must angle share to be considered adjacent angles

1 answer

For two angles to be considered adjacent angles, they must share the following two characteristics:

  1. Common Vertex: Both angles must have a common vertex, which is the point where the angles meet.

  2. Common Side: The angles must share one side (or ray) in common, meaning they lie next to each other with one side being the same for both angles.

Additionally, the two angles must not overlap, meaning the remaining sides of the angles must point in different directions.
