Are complementary angles alwys adjacent?
Rectangles have congruent adjacent angles.
Two angles are adjacent if they have the same vertex, share a side and do not overlap. It is, therefore, perfectly possible for two obtuse angles to be adjacent. In fact, every pair of adjacent angles in a hexagonal tessellation (a honeycomb, for example), consists of a pair of obtuse angles (120 degrees).
Two adjacent angles are considered supplementary angles. They aggregate and make an angle that measures 180 degrees.
A quadrilateral in which adjacent angles are congruent is called a kite. In a kite, the adjacent angles formed by the intersecting diagonals are congruent. This property distinguishes a kite from other types of quadrilaterals, such as a parallelogram or a rhombus, where adjacent angles are not necessarily congruent. Kites have specific properties and characteristics that make them a unique type of quadrilateral in geometry.
