Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows two leftward rays emerging from a point and the internal angle is marked e. A vertical line emerging from the top ray forms an angle with the ray labeled f.

Answer 1

To determine if angles e and f are adjacent, we need to check if they share a common ray and a common vertex.

1. **Common Vertex**: Both angles e and f emerge from the same point where the rays originate, so they share a common vertex.

2. **Common Ray**: The angle labeled e is formed by the two leftward rays, whereas the angle labeled f involves one of those rays and the vertical line. If both angles share one of the same rays (the ray that is part of angle e and the vertical line forming angle f), then they share a common ray.

Based on this reasoning, the correct response is:

**Yes, they share a common ray.**
