Answers

Complexity=5, Mode=twoline

Classify the following angles that are labeled.

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1		Vertical Angles Adjacent Angles Complementary Angles Supplementary Angles Corresponding Angles None of the above
Solution Since the two angles share a common side, the two angles are adjacent angles. Since the two angles add up to 180 degrees, they are supplementary angles.

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2		Vertical Angles Adjacent Angles Complementary Angles Supplementary Angles Corresponding Angles None of the above
Solution Since the two angles are formed by the intersection of the same two lines, they are vertical angles.

Complexity=8, Mode=threeline

Classify the following angles that are labeled.

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1		Vertical Angles Adjacent Angles Complementary Angles Supplementary Angles Corresponding Angles None of the above
Solution The two angles aren't formed by the intersection of two lines so they aren't vertical angles. They don't share a common side so they aren't adjacent angles. They also don't add up to 90 degrees or 180 degrees so they aren't complementary or supplementary angles. Finally, the angles aren't corresponding angles because they don't have a transversal line that forms both of them in the same relative positions. Thus the answer is none of the above.

Classify the following angles that are labeled.

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1		Vertical Angles Adjacent Angles Complementary Angles Supplementary Angles Corresponding Angles None of the above
Solution Since the two angles are in the same relative position and are formed by a line that joins two parallel lines (transversal), they are corresponding angles
