The answer will depend on which angle the side is adjacent to!

How do you find the length of the hypotenuse with two angles?
Two angles are not enough to define the length of anything in a triangle. You also need to know the length of one side.
What has exactly two adjacent right angles that is not a parallelogram?
A square because a parallelogram has two parallel sides and have two adjacent right angles but a square and a rectangle have also a two adjacent right angles.
What is adjacent sides?
Two things that are adjacent to each other are in contact with each other without overlapping. Examples are adjacent apartments, adjacent states, and adjacent sides of a polygon.The word adjacent as used in the definitions of the cosine and tangent trigonometric functions can be a little confusing because, obviously, it takes two sides to make an angle in a polygon, so, technically, you could say that each angle is adjacent to two sides. When trig functions refer to the side adjacent to one of the acute angles in a right triangle, they are referring to the one that's not the hypotenuse, or, in other words, the one that is also adjacent to the right angle.
Can a pair of straight angles can also be adjecent angles?
No, but the can be adjacent angles. It is mathematically valid even though it serves no point.
Does an octagon have equal adjacent angles?
The term octagon means an 8 sided geometrical figure; if the sides are all the same length and the angles are all identical, it is then called a regular octagon. Irregular octagons are also possible.
How do you get adjacent with a given hypotenuse?
Knowing the length of the hypotenuse doesn't tell you the length of either adjacent side. You also need to know at least one other piece of information, like the other side, or an angle.

How do you find the side length of a right triangle if you have one side length and two angles?
You can use trigonometry: sin α = opposite/hypotenuse, cos α = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan α = sin α/ cos α and using the law of sines:a/sin a = b/sin b = c/sin c. From all these you can derive equations to help you solve your task. Also if you have two angles and a triangle you actually have three angles α + β + γ = 180 in a triangle
Is theta similar to 'x'?
it depends...theta:theta is usually the letter given to any angle in the triangle (the letter theta is from the greek alphabet). usually in trigonometry you would use it when using SOHCAHTOA (sin=opposite/hypotenuse; cos=adjacent/hypotenuse; tan=opposite/adjacent) e.g. the sun is at an angle of 30°. if the shadow's length is 40m, find the length of the flagpole.tan30=h/40tanθ=opp/adj40xtan30=hh=23.09m-'opposite' (opp)is the opposite side from the angle you are trying to find out-'adjacent' (adj)is the side next to the angle you are trying to find out-'hypotenuse' (hyp)is also next to the angle you are trying to find out, but it is also opposite the right angle and it is the longest sidex:'x' is usually used to represent a length (either the base, height or hypotenuse). using SOHCAHTOA it would be either the opposite, adjacent or hypotenuse. using the example above x could substitute hthe difference is that theta is used for the angles and x is for the other measurements(length or distance). i don't think that there similar but thats just me...
Can two right angles also be adjacent to each other?
Yes. Adjacent angles share a side.
Two angles with a common side but no common interior points are what?
This is the definition for adjacent angles in geometry. Adjacent angles cannot overlap one another. Adjacent angles also have a common vertex.
If one leg of the isosceles right triangle is 2 feet long find the length of the hypotenuse?
Isosceles triangles have two sides which are the same length and two angles which are equal. So if your right triangle has one side of length 2 feet, which is not the hypotenuse, then the remaining side must also be 2 feet long. We know that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the squares of the other two sides. 2 squared is 4. So the squares of the two sides are 4 + 4 which equals 8. Now we just find the square root of 8, which is 2.8284... So the length of the hypotenuse is 2.83 Feet (to two decimal places). Or, In a right isosceles triangle, the two base angles equal 45°. Since the length leg is 2 ft, then the hypotenuse length would be equal to 2√2 or approximately to 2.83 ft. sin 45° = leg/hypotenuse hypotenuse = 2/sin 45° hypotenuse = 2/(√2/2) hypotenuse = 4/√2 hypotenuse = 4√2/2 hypotenuse = 2√2 °

A square because a parallelogram has two parallel sides and have two adjacent right angles but a square and a rectangle have also a two adjacent right angles.
What is the Mathematical term for a diamond shape?
It depends exactly what you mean by diamond shapeIf you have two adjacent sides congruent (same length) and another pair of adjacent sides also congruent... so it looks like a kite.... you have what we call a deltoid.Deltoids look like kites. The two sides on the top are the same length, and the two sides on the bottom are the same length. The two angles on the sides (where one side of a particular length meets a side of a different length), those angles opposite one another are also congruent (same measure). Diagonals are perpendicularNow, a deltoid that has all four sides congruent to one another, so it looks more like a proper diamond... that is called a rhombus. Opposite angles are congruent. Adjacent angles are supplementary. Diagonal are perpendicular to one another also, but they also bisect one another.A rhombus whose angles are all right angles is a square.

What are the characteristics of a rhombus are also applicable to square?
Four sides; Four angles; Sides are of equal length; Opposite sides are parallel; Diagonals bisect one another; Opposite angles are equal; Adjacent angles are supplementary. And probably many more.
Can a pair of straight angles can also be adjecent angles?
No, but the can be adjacent angles. It is mathematically valid even though it serves no point.
