Math Problem Statement
Which angles are vertical angles?
Solution
In the provided diagram, you are asked to identify the pair of vertical angles. Vertical angles are formed when two lines intersect, and they are opposite angles that are equal to each other.
Looking at the diagram:
- Lines and are parallel, and line acts as a transversal. Also, line intersects at point , creating additional intersections.
Now, analyzing angle pairs:
- is formed at point between lines and .
- The angle directly opposite would be , which forms at the same intersection but on the opposite side of point .
Therefore, the pair of vertical angles is:
The correct answer is: and .
Would you like further details on how vertical angles are identified?
Here are some related questions:
- What are the properties of vertical angles?
- How are parallel lines used to find corresponding angles?
- How does a transversal line affect the angles in parallel lines?
- What are alternate interior angles?
- What is the difference between adjacent and vertical angles?
Tip: Vertical angles are always equal, and they are formed by the intersection of two lines, appearing directly opposite each other.
