Answer 1

Vertical angles are always equal to each other. If the sum of the measures of two vertical angles is 300°, you can set up the equation:

Let \( x \) be the measure of one of the angles. Then the other angle is also \( x \). So we have:

\[ x + x = 300° \]
\[ 2x = 300° \]
\[ x = 150° \]

Thus, the measure of each angle is 150°.

So, the correct response is:

**150°**.
