~Yours Truly~

I am a highschool student, and am currently a math tutor. If there is one thing I'm not half bad at in school, it's math. I can help explain any questions you have on any of my posts, or any math related problems you have (yes, that includes homework). I hope this is helpful to you. Enjoy!

Definition of Vertical Angles

Vertical Angles are formed when you have intersecting lines:

Vertical angles, plain and simple, are the angles opposite of each other. The second thing that you have to know is that vertical angles are congruent, they have the same measure.

<1 and <8 form a vertical pair.
If <1=70, then <8=70 as well.

<2 and <5 form a vertical pair.
<3 and <4 form a vertical pair.
<6 and <7 form a vertical pair.

As usual, if you have any questions just comment!
