Pairs of Angles
Line pairs
Adjacent angles are
angles that share a
common side and
have the same vertex,
but have no interior
points in common.
Adjacent Angles
Adjacent angles are “side by side”
and share a common ray.

Linear Pair of Angles
Two angles form a
linear pair if and
only if they are
adjacent and their
non-common sides
are opposite rays.
Two angles are
complementary
if and only if the
sum of their
degree measures
is 90.
Complementary Angles
Two angles are
supplementary if
and only if the
sum of their
degree measures
is 180.
Supplementary Angles
When 2 lines intersect, they make
vertical angles.

Two angles are vertical
if and only if they are
two nonadjacent
angles formed by a pair
of intersecting lines.
Vertical angles are
congruent
Vertical Angles
Vertical angles are opposite one
another.
