Let's call the two angles in the vertical pair angle A and angle B. Since they are vertical angles, they have the same measure. We can represent the measure of angle A as x and the measure of angle B as also x.
We are given that the measures of the two angles add up to 70, so we can write the equation:
x + x = 70
Simplifying the equation, we have:
2x = 70
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get:
x = 70/2
x = 35
Since the measure of both angles is equal to x, each angle in the vertical pair measures 35 degrees.
Two angles in a vertical pair have measures that add to 70 . What is the measure of each angle?
