Math Problem Statement
Which angles are vertical angles?
Solution
The diagram shows two parallel lines and , intersected by two transversal lines, and , at points and , respectively.
The problem is asking which pairs of angles are vertical angles. Vertical angles are pairs of opposite angles formed when two lines intersect, and they are always congruent.
In the diagram:
- and are vertical angles because they are formed by the intersection of lines and .
- Similarly, and are vertical angles because of the same intersection.
Thus, the correct pair of vertical angles is and .
