The two opposite (non-adjacent) angles formed by two intersecting lines are called ________. This is a relationship between pairs of angles, so one cannot be called ________. Angles that form a ________ pair are always ________.

A. Vertical angles, adjacent angles, complementary, congruent
B. Adjacent angles, vertical angles, complementary, supplementary
C. Complementary angles, adjacent angles, vertical, congruent
D. Supplementary angles, vertical angles, adjacent, equal

Answer :

Final answer:

The two opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines have specific characteristics and relationships: they are adjacent angles, vertical angles, complementary, and supplementary.

Explanation:

The correct answer is B) Adjacent angles, vertical angles, complementary, supplementary.

Vertical angles are formed by two intersecting lines and have the same measure. They are non-adjacent angles, meaning they do not share a common side. Adjacent angles share a common side and vertex, but do not overlap. Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, while supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
