Vertically Opposite Angles Flashcards

Angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Vertically opposite angles are always equal.

When two lines intersect, they form two pairs of vertically opposite angles.

If one angle is 50°, the vertically opposite angle is also 50°.

Look for angles that are directly opposite each other at the intersection of two lines.

Adjacent angles at an intersection are supplementary (add up to 180°), while vertically opposite angles are equal.

In a diagram, vertically opposite angles are marked with the same symbol to show they are equal.

The angles formed by the hands of a clock at certain times can be vertically opposite.

The equality of vertically opposite angles can be proven using the fact that adjacent angles on a straight line add up to 180°.

Vertically opposite angles are not the same as adjacent angles. Adjacent angles share a common side, while vertically opposite angles do not.
