What are adjacent angles?

Back

Adjacent angles are two angles that share a common side and a common vertex but do not overlap.

Front

What is the sum of complementary angles?

Back

Complementary angles always add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What is the sum of supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles always add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles consists of two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight line.
