Lines And Angles – 1 • Two angles that add up to give a right angle are

complementary angles and two angles that add up to give a

Pairs of angles:
straight angle are supplementary angles.
Read the information about pairs of angles and answer the
following questions:
• The word “adjacent” means “next” or “neighboring”.
• Adjacent angles are angles just next to each other.
• Adjacent angles share a common vertex and a common
side, but do not overlap.
• In the figure shown, a and b are
adjacent angles. They have a common
vertex O and a common side OA.

• If two adjacent angles form a

right angle (90°), then they are
complementary.
• If two adjacent angles form a
straight angle (180°), then • Whenever two angles are complementary, each angle is
