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.
If the noncommon sides of two adjacent angles form a right angle, then the angles are complementary angles.

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.
linear pair
All quadrilaterals apart from rectangles. Even parallelograms have adjacent angles that are not equal.
a linear pair!
Not clear what exactly the question is.
Two adjacent angles that have noncommon sides forming a line are called supplementary angles. This means that the two angles add up to 180 degrees. The noncommon sides of the angles create a straight line, demonstrating their supplementary relationship. An example of this would be a pair of angles that share a vertex and one side, with their other sides extending in opposite directions to form a straight line.
If the noncommon sides of two adjacent angles form a right angle, then the angles are complementary angles.
A right angle.

-- Opposite sides are parallel. -- Opposite sides are equal. -- All four sides are equal. -- Adjacent sides are equal. -- Adjacent angles are supplementary. -- Opposite angles are equal. -- Diagonals are perpendicular. -- Interior angles sum to two straight angles. -- Exterior angles sum to two straight angles.
square and a rectangle
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.
Yes, two adjacent angles whose exterior sides are opposite rays are complementary. This is because the angles formed by the opposite rays sum up to 180 degrees, and since they are adjacent, their measures add up to 90 degrees, fulfilling the definition of complementary angles. Thus, the two angles are indeed complementary.
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).
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?
