Student Help Two angles are adjacent angles if they share a common vertex and
side, but have no common interior points.

You can use numbers
to refer to angles. common side

Solution
a. Because the angles do not share a common vertex or side, a1 and a2
are nonadjacent.
b. Because the angles share a common vertex and side, and they do
not have any common interior points, a3 and a4 are adjacent.
c. Although a5 and a6 share a common vertex, they do not share a
common side. Therefore, a5 and a6 are nonadjacent.
EXAMPLE 3 Measures of Complements and Supplements
a. aA is a complement of aC, and maA 5 478. Find maC.
b. aP is a supplement of aR, and maR 5 368. Find maP.
Solution
a. aA and aC are complements, b. aP and aR are supplements,
so their sum is 908. so their sum is 1808.
