Math Problem Statement
Solution
In this image, we are tasked with identifying the vertical angles given that and are parallel lines.
Vertical angles are pairs of non-adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. They are always congruent to each other.
In the diagram, we see two transversals intersecting the parallel lines. Specifically:
- One transversal intersects at points and , creating multiple angles.
Looking for vertical angles:
- and are vertical angles, as they are opposite each other at the intersection point .
- and are vertical angles as well, as they are opposite each other at the same point .
Among the provided answer choices:
- and are vertical angles.
Thus, the correct answer is and .
