What type of angle pair can be described as “supplementary and adjacent”?

Answer 1

Supplementary angles are those that in sum give #180#.
Adjacent angles are those that share a side.

The type of angle pair that can be described as "supplementary and adjacent" is a pair of angles where one angle measures 90 degrees (forming a right angle) and the other angle measures 90 degrees (also forming a right angle), and they share a common side. These angles are adjacent because they share a common side, and they are supplementary because their measures add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, the angles are both adjacent and supplementary.
