Answer: Choice B

angle BAF and angle BAC are adjacent

=============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go through each of the answer choices.

  • Choice A is true since angles BAF and CAF form a right angle (90 degree angle). So we can rule this out.
  • Choice B is false. This is the answer. Adjacent angles must share a common ray or side, which does happen with the two angles in question (both share ray AB); however, note that angle BAF is completely inside angle BAC. We cannot have this overlap, or any overlap at all, when it comes to adjacent angles.
  • Choice C is true. The two angles combine or glue together to form a straight angle, which is 180 degrees. We can rule this answer choice out.
