Which of these diagrams shows a pair of adjacent angles?
A
Three points connected by line segments converging at a central node, extending in different directions. The middle segment, in conjunction with the outer segments, forms a V shape, creating two distinct angles at the junction where the segments meet. These angles are shaded for emphasis: one in yellow and the other in violet, to indicate their difference.
B
C
Two lines intersect at a point, forming four angles around the intersection. Both identical arcs are shaded for emphasis: col1 to highlight the congruence.

The student will use the relationships among pairs of angles that are vertical angles, adjacent angles, supplementary angles, and complementary angles to determine the measure of unknown angles.
8.MG.1a
Identify and describe the relationship between pairs of angles that are vertical, adjacent, supplementary, and complementary.
8.MG.1b
Use the relationships among supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles to solve problems, including those in context, involving the measure of unknown angles.
