Question
use the figure to select a pair of adjacent angles and complete the description for why they are adjacent. a pair of adjacent angles are ∠sur and ∠ (select). they are adjacent because they (select).
Step1: Recall Adjacent Angles Definition
Adjacent angles share a common side and a common vertex, and their non - common sides are on opposite sides of the common side. For \(\angle SUR\), the common vertex is \(U\) and one side is \(UR\). We need to find another angle that shares the common side \(UR\) (or \(US\)) and vertex \(U\). Looking at the figure, \(\angle RUN\) shares the common side \(UR\) and vertex \(U\) with \(\angle SUR\)? Wait, no, let's re - examine. Wait, \(\angle SUR\) and \(\angle RUT\)? Wait, no, the right angle symbol is between \(SU\) and \(TU\)? Wait, the figure has lines \(SU\), \(RU\), \(NU\), \(QU\), \(PU\), \(TU\) with vertex \(U\). Wait, adjacent angles to \(\angle SUR\): \(\angle SUR\) has sides \(SU\) and \(RU\). So the angle that shares side \(RU\) and vertex \(U\) would be \(\angle RUN\)? No, wait, maybe \(\angle RUT\) is not. Wait, actually, in the figure, \(\angle SUR\) and \(\angle RUN\) are not. Wait, let's think again. Adjacent angles must have a common side and common vertex, and their interiors do not overlap. So \(\angle SUR\) and \(\angle RUN\) share the side \(RU\) and vertex \(U\), and their non - common sides \(SU\) and \(NU\) are on different sides of \(RU\). Wait, but maybe the correct angle is \(\angle RUN\)? No, wait, the other angle should be \(\angle RUN\)? Wait, no, let's check the figure again. The lines: \(S\) - \(U\) - \(Q\)? No, the arrows: \(S\) is on a line, \(R\) on another, \(N\) on another, \(T\) on another, \(P\) on another, \(Q\) on another. Wait, the right angle is between \(SU\) and \(TU\), so \(\angle SUT = 90^{\circ}\). But for \(\angle SUR\), the adjacent angle should share the side \(UR\) and vertex \(U\). So \(\angle RUN\) (with side \(UR\) and \(UN\)) and \(\angle SUR\) (with side \(UR\) and \(US\)) share \(UR\) and \(U\), so they are adjacent. Wait, but maybe the intended angle is \(\angle RUN\)? Wait, no, maybe \(\angle RUT\) is not. Wait, perhaps the correct angle is \(\angle RUN\). Wait, but let's recall the definition again. Adjacent angles: common vertex, common side, no overlapping interiors. So \(\angle SUR\) and \(\angle RUN\) share vertex \(U\), share side \(UR\), and their non - common sides \(SU\) and \(NU\) are distinct. So the angle adjacent to \(\angle SUR\) is \(\angle RUN\)? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the first part: "A pair of adjacent angles are \(\angle SUR\) and \(\angle\) (select)". Let's look at the figure again. The lines: \(SU\), \(RU\), \(NU\), \(QU\), \(PU\), \(TU\) all meet at \(U\). So \(\angle SUR\) has sides \(SU\) and \(RU\). The angle that shares side \(RU\) and vertex \(U\) is \(\angle RUN\) (sides \(RU\) and \(NU\)) or \(\angle RUT\) (sides \(RU\) and \(TU\))? Wait, maybe the correct answer is \(\angle RUN\). Wait, but let's confirm the adjacent angles property. They are adjacent because they share a common side (\(RU\)) and a common vertex (\(U\)), and their non - common sides (\(SU\) and \(NU\)) are on opposite sides of the common side.
Step2: Determine the Adjacent Angle
So the angle adjacent to \(\angle SUR\) is \(\angle RUN\) (or maybe \(\angle RUT\) is wrong). Wait, no, let's check the figure again. The right angle is between \(SU\) and \(TU\), so \(\angle SUT = 90^{\circ}\). \(\angle SUR\) and \(\angle RUT\): do they share a common side? \(\angle SUR\) has side \(SU\) and \(RU\), \(\angle RUT\) has side \(RU\) and \(TU\). So they share the common side \(RU\) and common vertex \(U\), and their non - common sides \(SU\) and \(TU\) are on opposite sides of \(RU\). So \(\angle SUR\) and \(\angle RUT\) are adj…

The angle adjacent to \(\angle SUR\) is \(\angle RUN\) (assuming the correct angle from the figure, the actual correct angle based on the figure's line arrangement is \(\angle RUN\) or other, but based on the figure's structure, the adjacent angle to \(\angle SUR\) is \(\angle RUN\) (or more accurately, if we consider the lines, \(\angle RUN\) shares the common side \(UR\) and vertex \(U\) with \(\angle SUR\)). So the answer for the angle is \(\angle RUN\) (the specific angle name may vary based on the exact figure labeling, but the process is based on adjacent angles definition).
