The sum of measures of two vertical angles is 300 . solve for the measure of each angle. (1 point)

A.150
B. 90
C.120
D. 75

1 answer

Vertical angles are equal, which means that if the sum of the measures of the two vertical angles is 300 degrees, we can express the angles as \( x \) and \( x \) (since they are equal). Thus, we can set up the following equation:

\[ x + x = 300 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 2x = 300 \]

Now, divide both sides by 2:

\[ x = 150 \]

Therefore, the measure of each angle is \( 150 \) degrees.

The answer is: A. 150.
