Question

Which two angles in the figure are adjacent angles?

A. ∠HVI and ∠HVJ
B. ∠JVI and ∠HVJ
C. ∠HVI and ∠IVJ
D. ∠VHI and ∠JIV

Answer 1

c. ∠HVI and ∠IVJ

Explanation:

Adjacent angles are angles that are side by side. Given the diagram, there are a total of three angles: ∠HVJ which is the larger angle and angles ∠HVI and ∠IVJ which are the two smaller angles that make up the larger angle. Since ∠HVI and ∠IVJ are side by side, these are the adjacent angles.
