Adjacent Sides
Definition of Adjacent Sides

Any two sides that share a common end point or vertex are called as Adjacent Sides.

Example of Adjacent Sides

Sides AB and AC are adjacent as they meet at the common end point A.

Solved Example on Adjacent Sides

Which of the following is a pair of adjacent sides in the figure shown?

Choices:
