2. Which angles are adjacent?
<1&<2, <2&<3, <3&<4, <4&<1
Then what do we call <1&<3?
2 Vertical Angles – 2 angles
1 3 that share a common vertex &
4 whose sides form 2 pairs of
opposite rays.
<1&<3, <2&<4
3. Linear Pair (of angles)
• 2 adjacent angles whose non-common
sides are opposite rays.

4. Example
• Vertical angles?
<1 & <4
• Adjacent angles?

<1&<2, <2&<3, 1 3
<3&<4, <4&<5, <5&<1 5 4
• Linear pair?
<5&<4, <1&<5
• Adjacent angles not a linear pair?
<1&<2, <2&<3, <3&<4
5. Important Facts
• Vertical Angles are congruent.
• The sum of the measures of the angles in
a linear pair is 180o.
