Let’s go through each pair of angles one by one and decide if they are
adjacent,
vertical, or
linear.
First, let’s remember what each term means:
-
Adjacent angles: Two angles that share a common vertex and a common side, but do not overlap.
-
Vertical angles: Angles opposite each other when two lines cross. They are always equal.
-
Linear pair: Two adjacent angles that form a straight line — their non-common sides form a straight line, and their measures add up to 180°.
Now, let’s look at each problem:
---
1) Angles a and b share a vertex and a side. They are next to each other and don’t overlap →
Adjacent
2) Angles 1 and 2 are opposite each other where two lines cross →
Vertical
3) Angles 1 and 2 share a vertex and a side, and they’re next to each other →
Adjacent
4) Angles P and Q are on a straight line, sharing a vertex and a side, and together they make a straight angle →
Linear
5) Angles 1 and 2 share a vertex and a side, and they’re side-by-side →
Adjacent
6) Angles C and D are opposite each other where two lines intersect →
Vertical
7) Angles a and b are next to each other, share a vertex and a side →
Adjacent
8) Angles a and b share a vertex and a side, and they’re next to each other →
Adjacent

Final Answer:
1) adjacent
2) vertical
3) adjacent
4) linear
5) adjacent
6) vertical
7) adjacent
8) adjacent
