Part 1: Identify Each Pair of Angles

We are given diagrams with labeled angles and asked to classify each pair as:

- Adjacent: Two angles that share a common vertex and side but do not overlap.
- Vertical: Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines; they are always equal.
- Complementary: Two angles that add up to 90°.
- Supplementary: Two angles that add up to 180°.
- Linear Pair: A pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight line (so they are supplementary).

- Angles 1 and 2 share a common vertex and side, and together form a straight line? No — they are on the same side of a ray, forming part of a larger angle.
- But they share a common vertex and side, and don't overlap → Adjacent ✔

> ✔️ Answer: Adjacent

#### 2.
Two intersecting lines, angles 3 and 4 are opposite each other.

- They are opposite angles formed by intersection → Vertical angles

> ✔️ Answer: Vertical

---

#### 3.
Angles 5 and 6 share a vertex and a common side, and are next to each other.

- They are adjacent (they don’t overlap, share a side and vertex)

> ✔️ Answer: Adjacent

---

#### 4.
Angle 7 and 8 form a straight line (linear pair), so they are:
- Adjacent (share a side)
- Form a straight line → Linear pair
- Add to 180° → Supplementary

> ✔️ Answer: Adjacent / Linear pair / Supplementary

---

#### 5.
Angles 9 and 10 share a vertex and a side, but are not on a straight line.

- They are next to each other → Adjacent

> ✔️ Answer: Adjacent

---

#### 6.
Angles 11 and 12 are on a straight line, sharing a vertex and side.

- They form a straight line → Linear pair
- So also Supplementary
- And Adjacent

> ✔️ Answer: Adjacent / Linear pair / Supplementary

---

#### 7.
Angles 13 and 14 are opposite angles formed by intersecting lines → Vertical angles

> ✔️ Answer: Vertical

---

#### 8.
Given: 55° and 35°, and they are adjacent (share a vertex and side).
Sum = 55 + 35 = 90° → Complementary

Also, they are adjacent

> ✔️ Answer: Adjacent / Complementary

---

#### 9.
Given: 40° and 140°
Sum = 40 + 140 = 180° → Supplementary

They are not necessarily adjacent in this diagram, but since they're shown next to each other and forming a straight line, they are likely supplementary.

> ✔️ Answer: Supplementary

Part 2: Use the Figure at the Right

We’re told: GA is perpendicular to EG → So ∠AGE = 90°

Here’s a sketch of what we have (based on points):

```
A

G——————— D
/ \

F C

B

E
```

But actually, better interpretation:

- Point G is center.
- GA ⊥ EG → So ∠AGE = 90°
- Lines: FA, GD, EB, GC, etc., passing through G

We need to use angle relationships.

---

#### 10. Name two acute vertical angles.

- Acute angles: less than 90°
- Vertical angles: opposite angles from intersecting lines

Look for intersecting lines:
- EG and FA intersect at G → form vertical angles: ∠EGF and ∠AGD
- Also, EG and GD? Wait — let’s label carefully.

From the diagram:

Lines:
- Line FD passes through G
- Line AB passes through G
- Line EC passes through G
- GA ⊥ EG → right angle at ∠AGE

So possible intersections:
- FD and AB intersect at G → vertical angles: ∠FGA and ∠BGD, ∠FGB and ∠AGD
- FD and EC intersect at G → vertical angles: ∠FGE and ∠CGD, ∠FGC and ∠EGD

Now, look for acute vertical angles.

Since GA ⊥ EG → ∠AGE = 90°

So:
- ∠FGE and ∠CGD are vertical angles
- If ∠FGE is acute, then ∠CGD is too

Assume ∠FGE is small → then ∠CGD is also small → both acute

Similarly, ∠FEG and ∠CGD?

Wait — the answer says: <FEG, <CGD

But ∠FEG is same as ∠FGE? Yes, just notation.

So ∠FGE and ∠CGD are vertical angles and both are acute

> ✔️ Answer: ∠FEG and ∠CGD (correct)

---

#### 11. Name two obtuse vertical angles.

Obtuse > 90°

Look at ∠EGD and ∠FGC — these are vertical angles?

Yes: FD and EC intersect at G → ∠EGD and ∠FGC are vertical

And since ∠AGE = 90°, and ∠EGD is adjacent to it, if GD is going right, and EG is down, then ∠EGD is greater than 90° → obtuse

Similarly, ∠FGC is opposite → also obtuse

> ✔️ Answer: ∠EGD and ∠FGC ✔

---

#### 12. Name a pair of adjacent angles.

Adjacent: share a vertex and a side, no overlapping

Many possibilities:

- ∠FGE and ∠EGA → share side GE
- ∠AGB and ∠BGC → share side GB
- ∠FGC and ∠CGD → share side GC

Any such pair is valid.

> ✔️ Answer: Many answers ✔

---

#### 13. Name a linear pair.

Linear pair: adjacent angles that form a straight line → sum to 180°

Examples:
- ∠FGE and ∠EGD → form straight line FD → linear pair
- ∠AGB and ∠BGC → not necessarily on a straight line
- ∠FGA and ∠AGD → form straight line FD? Only if A and D are on same line → yes, if FD is straight

Wait — FD is a straight line through G → so any two angles on FD that are adjacent and on opposite sides of G form a linear pair.

So:
- ∠FGA and ∠AGD → adjacent, form straight line → linear pair
- ∠FGE and ∠EGD → linear pair

> ✔️ Answer: Many answers ✔

---

#### 14. Name a pair of complementary angles.

Complementary: sum to 90°

We know: GA ⊥ EG → ∠AGE = 90°

So any two angles that make up ∠AGE are complementary.

For example:
- ∠AGB and ∠BGE → if B lies between A and E, then ∠AGB + ∠BGE = 90° → complementary

But the answer says: ∠EGF and ∠FGA or ∠AGB and ∠BGC

Wait — let’s check:

Is ∠EGF + ∠FGA = 90°?

∠EGF + ∠FGA = ∠EGA = 90° → YES!

Because EG to F to A → forms ∠EGA = 90°

So ∠EGF and ∠FGA are adjacent angles adding to 90° → complementary

Similarly, ∠AGB and ∠BGC — only if they are parts of a right angle? Not necessarily unless B is on the perpendicular.

But wait — unless we assume B is on the bisector or something, we can’t be sure.

But the worksheet gives: <EGF and <FGA or <AGB and <BGC

Let’s verify:

- ∠EGF + ∠FGA = ∠EGA = 90° → YES → complementary ✔

- ∠AGB + ∠BGC = ∠AGC → unless AGC = 90°, this may not be true

But maybe ∠AGC is 90°? We don’t know.

However, perhaps the diagram shows that ∠AGB and ∠BGC are parts of a right angle?

Alternatively, maybe B is such that AB is along GA, and BC is perpendicular?

Wait — probably the intended answer is based on ∠EGF and ∠FGA being adjacent and summing to 90°.

So ∠EGF and ∠FGA is correct.

Another possibility: ∠AGB and ∠BGC — if they form a right angle?

But without more info, the first one is solid.

> ✔️ Answer: ∠EGF and ∠FGA ✔

#### 15. Name an angle supplementary to ∠FGE

Supplementary: adds to 180°

∠FGE is part of line FD → so its supplement would be ∠EGD, because:

- ∠FGE + ∠EGD = ∠FGD = straight line → 180°

So ∠EGD is supplementary to ∠FGE

Also, ∠FGC is vertical to ∠EGD → so ∠FGC = ∠EGD → also supplementary?

No — ∠FGC is equal to ∠EGD (vertical), but is it supplementary to ∠FGE?

Only if ∠FGE + ∠FGC = 180°

But ∠FGE + ∠FGC = ∠EGC → not necessarily 180°

But ∠FGE + ∠EGD = 180° → so ∠EGD is supplementary

And since ∠FGC = ∠EGD (vertical), then ∠FGC is also supplementary to ∠FGE

So both are valid.

> ✔️ Answer: ∠FGC or ∠EGD ✔
