Adjacent Non-Supplementary Angles


Sailboat














The sails on a sailboat are an example of adjacent, non-supplementary angles because they share a common side (brown).  The two angles are also non-supplementary because the sum of the measures of both angles does not equal 180. Sails catch wind causing the sailboat to move. These are essential items to a their main users, sailors, to navigate and operate the boat.
