Question

Do vertical angles, equal 180°

Answer 1

No, vertical angles do not equal 180°. Vertical angles are a pair of opposite angles formed when two lines intersect. They are congruent, meaning they have the same measure. Each vertical angle is an angle of 90°, so the sum of the two vertical angles is 180°.

Answer 2

So in the case one angle was 31° what would the other angle be opposite to it?

Answer 3

In the case where one angle is 31°, the other angle opposite to it (vertical angle) would also be 31°. Vertical angles are always congruent, meaning they have the same measure. So if one angle is 31°, the other vertical angle would also be 31°.

Answer 4

So if one angle is 140°, what would the other angle opposite to it be?

Answer 5

If one angle is 140°, the other angle opposite to it (vertical angle) would also be 140°. Vertical angles are always congruent, meaning they have the same measure. So if one angle is 140°, the other vertical angle would also be 140°.
