What are the adjacent angles, definition, examples, properties || Mathscolor

 In the simplest language, the adjacent angles are " the angles that have a common side (arm) and vertex."  We will see the minute details of adjacent angles which will cover meaning/definition, real life and, relevant examples, how to identify & properties of the angles, and many more.

What are Adjacent Angles?


As mentioned above the adjacent angles shares a common vertex and side. Such angles can be complementary angles or supplementary angles. Let's understand these angles as well:

  • Adjacent complementary angle:- If the sum of adjacent angles is equal to 90 degrees then angles will be complementary to each other.
  • Adjacent Supplementary angle:- If the sum of adjacent angles is equal to 180 degrees then angles will be supplementary to each other.
