In a vertical pair, the angles are congruent or have equal measures. Let's call one of the angles x.
Since the angles in a vertical pair have measurements that add up to 70, we can say that:
x + x = 70
Combining like terms, we have:
2x = 70
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 2:
2x/2 = 70/2
x = 35
Therefore, each angle in the vertical pair has a measure of 35 degrees.
