Question

Name the relationship A.complementary B.linear pair C.vertical D.adjacent

Answer 1

Answer:

∠a and ∠b are the adjacent angles.

Therefore, option D i.e. adjacent is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the angles

• ∠a

• ∠b

We know that the two angles are termed as the adjacent angles when they share the:

• common vertex

• common side

From the given diagram, we are given the angles ∠a and ∠b.

It is clear that angles ∠a and ∠b have a common vertex and common side.

Therefore, the relationship between the angles ∠a and ∠b is 'adjacent'.

In other words, ∠a and ∠b are the adjacent angles.

Please note that the given relation can not be a 'linear pair' because the sum of two angles is NOT a straight line or 180°.

Therefore, option D i.e. adjacent is the correct option.
