Description

Adjacent angles are two angles that have a common side and a common vertex. They are important in geometry because they help in understanding the properties of shapes and the relationships between angles. For example, in a quadrilateral, any of the diagonals create pairs of adajent angles. This concept is essential in solving problems related to angle measures and properties of polygons.
