A pair of adjacent angles whose noncommon sides are opposite rays?

A pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays are called a linear pair. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.


I am a quadrilateral that has 4 right angles. My opposite sides are parallel and of equal length. What figure am I?

A quadrilateral with 4 right angles and opposite sides that are parallel can be either a rectangle if the adjacent sides are of different length or a square if the adjacent sides are of the same length.


Which quadrilateral has opposite sides that are not parallel and have angles that are not equal?

All quadrilaterals apart from rectangles. Even parallelograms have adjacent angles that are not equal.


What are all the names of all the quadrilateral with pictures?

Rectangle: A quadrilateral with 4 right angles, diagonals congruent/bisecting, and opposite sides congruent, BUT ADJACENT SIDES ARE NOT CONGRUENT. Rhobus: A quadrilateral with opposite congruent angles, but adjacent angles are Not congruent, perpendicular bisecting diagonals and 4 congruent sides. Square: A quadrilateral that is a rectangle and a square with 4 right angles, diagonals congruet/bisecting that ar perpendicular, and opposites sides congruent.


What is the tangent of a triangle?

In that triangle, one of the angles must be a right angle, and another one of the angles must be marked with or the measurement of the angle. Tangent is the ratio of opposite side over adjacent side. The opposite and adjacent sides are determined by the position of the marked angle.

The kind of angle formed by the non-common sides of two adjacent and complementary sides?

That would be a right angle: The measure of complementary angles adds up to 90 degrees. Adjacent angles are angles that share one common side and one common vertex, but no common interior points (the angles don't overlap). The non-common sides of two adjacent angles are the two "outside" sides (the unshared sides). Two adjacent and complementary angles would form a right angle split by a ray/line, and not necessarily bisected (perfectly divided in half).


Do all squares have two parallel sides?

All squares have TWO SETS of opposite, parallel sides. A square is a parallelogram with 4 equal sides and 4 equal angles (right angles) of which adjacent sides are perpendicular. The related parallelogram, the rhombus, or "diamond" shape, also has 4 equal sides, but no right angles, where opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees).


Are two adjacent angles whose exterior sides are opposite rays always complementary?

No? Wouldn't they then be supplementary? Opposite rays make a straight angle/line, and if the exterior sides made the straight angle, the adjacent angles would be supplementary. ...Right?

Not clear what exactly the question is.

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.


How do you determine which is the adjacent side of a right triangle?

There are three sides, hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent. But the adjacent and opposite are not fixed sides: it depends on which of the two acute angles you are examining.For either of the non-right angles, the adjacent side is the one which forms the angle, along with the hypotenuse. For the given angle θ, the length of the adjacent side compared to the hypotenuse (adjacent/hypotenuse) is the cosine (cos θ).
