2) At an intersection, ∠A and ∠B are vertical. ∠B is complementary to ∠C. If m∠A = 4x + 6 and m∠C = x + 24, what is m∠A?

Explanation

Step 1: ∠A = ∠B (vertical).

Step 2: ∠B + ∠C = 90° (complementary).

Step 3: (4x + 6) + (x + 24) = 90 → 5x + 30 = 90 → x = 12.

Step 4: ∠A = 4(12) + 6 = 54°.°.

3) Two streets intersect, forming four angles. One angle measures 62°. What is the measure of the vertical angle across from it?

Explanation

Vertical angles are equal.

So, the opposite angle = 62°.

Submit
4) If ∠1 = 75°, and ∠3 is its vertical angle, what is ∠3?

Explanation

Vertical angles are always equal → ∠3 = 75°.

Submit
5) Two lines intersect. One angle is 125°. What is its vertical angle?

Explanation

Vertical angles are equal. So, both measure 125°.

Submit
6) Two lines intersect. One angle is 118°. What are the measures of the other three angles?

Explanation

Step 1: Vertical opposite = 118°.

Step 2: Adjacent = 180 − 118 = 62°.

Step 3: Opposite to 62° = 62°.

Submit
7) At an intersection, ∠x = 90°. What is the vertical angle to ∠x?

Explanation

When lines intersect forming right angles, all four angles = 90°.

Submit
8) If ∠y = 137°, what is the measure of its vertical angle?

Explanation

Vertical angles are equal → vertical = 137°.

Submit
9) In the diagram, ∠1 = (2x + 10)° and ∠3 = (3x – 20)°. If ∠1 and ∠3 are vertical, what is x?

Explanation

Step 1: Set equal → 2x + 10 = 3x – 20.

Step 2: Simplify → x = 30.

Step 3: Substitute → 2(30) + 10 = 70°.

Submit
10) Two vertical angles are marked ∠A = 120° and ∠B. What is ∠B?

Explanation

Vertical angles are equal.

So, ∠B = 120°.

Submit
11) Two lines intersect at point OOO. Angles are labeled ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4 in order around O. Which option correctly lists all vertical pairs and all linear pairs?

Explanation

Vertical pairs are opposite: (1,3) and (2,4). Linear pairs are adjacent: (1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,1).

So, the vertical pairs are (1,3) and (2,4), and the linear pairs are (1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,1).

Submit
12) Two lines intersect. ∠1 = (4x – 15)°, ∠2 = (2x + 25)°. If they are vertical angles, what is ∠1?

Explanation

Vertical: 4x − 15 = 2x + 25 → 2x = 40 → x = 20.

Then ∠1 = 4(20) − 15 = 65.

The measure of ∠1 is 65°.

Submit
13) If one angle is 15°, what is its vertical angle?

Explanation

Vertical angles are equal, so both are 15°.

Submit
14) Which of the following statements about vertical angles is true?

Explanation

Vertical angles sit opposite each other and are congruent.

So, they are opposite and congruent.

Submit
15) In the diagram, ∠A = 100°. Which angle is congruent to ∠A?

Explanation

Vertical angles are congruent → the one across from ∠A equals 100°.

Submit
16) In the diagram, ∠1 = 70°. Which angle is vertical to ∠1?

Explanation

Vertical angles are opposite each other when two lines cross.

So, if ∠1 = 70°, the angle directly across (∠4) is also 70°.

Submit
17) ∠A and ∠C are vertical angles. If ∠A = 95°, what is ∠C?

Explanation

Vertical angles are always congruent.

Step 1: Set them equal → ∠A = ∠C.

Step 2: Substitute → ∠C = 95°.

Final Answer: ∠C = 95°

Submit
18) Two intersecting lines form four angles labeled ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, and ∠4. If ∠2 = 110°, what is ∠4?

Explanation

Vertical angles are equal in measure.

Step 1: ∠2 and ∠4 are opposite each other.

Step 2: So ∠4 = 110°.

Final Answer: ∠4 = 110°

Submit
19) Two lines intersect. One angle measures 2x+14 and its vertical angle measures 5x−31. What is the measure of an angle adjacent to them?

Explanation

Vertical angles are equal. So,

Step 1: 2x + 14 = 5x − 31

Step 2: 45 = 3x → x = 15.

Step 3: Substitute → 2(15) + 14 = 44°.

Adjacent angles form a linear pair → 180 − 44 = 136°.

Submit
20) At an intersection, ∠M = 45°. Which angle is its vertical angle?

Explanation

Vertical angles are the pair across from each other, not beside.
