ADJACENT NON-SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES-- oil pump

This photo of an oil pump contains adjacent non-supplementary angles outlined in purple. The two angles are adjacent because they share the same vertex and a side. A supplementary angles should add up to 180 degrees. If these two angles were suppelmentary then the measures of angle 1 + measure of angle 2 would = 180 degrees. Also since the non shared lines do not form a straight line the angles can not equal 180 degrees. Oil pumps are very important to every country around the world. They keep a supply of oil on moving parts and oil is needed to support our country. Oil is used for gasoline and electricial generation.
