Question

which segment is adjacent to ∠j?
triangle with vertices e, r, j, right angle at r
answer
○ \\(\overline{re}\\) ○ \\(\overline{jr}\\) ○ \\(\overline{je}\\) submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Define adjacent segment

An adjacent segment to an angle shares the angle's vertex and is a side forming the angle.

Step2: Identify segments at ∠J

∠J is at vertex J. Segments forming ∠J are $\overline{JR}$ and $\overline{JE}$.

Step3: Match with options

Options include $\overline{JR}$ and $\overline{JE}$ (valid adjacent segments) and $\overline{RE}$ (opposite side, not adjacent).

Answer:

B. $\overline{JR}$, C. $\overline{JE}$
