Two angles in a vertical pair have measures that add to 70°

Question

. What is the measure of each angle?(1 point)

Answer 1

In a vertical pair, the angles are opposite each other and are equal in measure. If the measures of the two angles add up to 70°, we can express this as:

Let one angle be \( x \). Then the other angle, being equal, is also \( x \).

So, we have: \[ x + x = 70° \] or \[ 2x = 70° \]

Dividing both sides by 2 gives: \[ x = 35° \]

Therefore, each angle measures 35°.
