Two straight lengths of wire are placed on the ground, forming vertical angles. If the measure of one of the angles formed is 72°, what are the measures of the other three angles? Explain your answer.
1 answer
Vertical angles are always congruent, so if one of the angles formed is 72°, then the other three angles will also measure 72°. This is because vertical angles are formed by the intersection of two lines, creating two pairs of opposite angles that have the same measure. Therefore, the measures of the other three angles are all 72°.
