What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

Vertical angles must necessarily be congruent, however congruent angles do not necessarily have to be vertical angles. An example of congruent angles which are not vertical angles are the 3 interior angles of an equilateral triangle. These angles do not share the same vertex yet they are congruent.

What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

Two angles are Adjacent when they have a common side and a common vertex (corner point), and don't overlap.

What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

Angle ABC is adjacent to angle CBD

Because:

  • they have a common side (line CB)
  • they have a common vertex (point B)

What Is and Isn't an Adjacent Angle

What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

Adjacent Angles

they share a vertex and a side

What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

NOT Adjacent Angles

they only share a vertex, not a side

What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

NOT Adjacent Angles

they only share a side,
not a vertex

ALSO the angles must not overlap.

What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

NOT Adjacent Angles

angles a and b overlap

Adjacent angles are two angles that have a common vertex and a common side but do not overlap.

What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

In the figure, ∠ 1  and  ∠ 2 are adjacent angles.

They share the same vertex and the same common side.

What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

In the figure, ∠ 1  and  ∠ 3 are non-adjacent angles.

They share a common vertex, but not a common side.

What are angles that have the same vertex share a common side and have no interior points in common?

Angles ∠ 1  and  ∠ 2 are non-adjacent angles.

They share common side, but not a common vertex.
