Vertical, Adjacent, Complementary and Supplementary Angles

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal in measure.

Front

If ∠A and ∠B are supplementary and ∠A = 70°, what is ∠B?

Back

∠B = 110° (because 180° - 70° = 110°).

If ∠C and ∠D are complementary and ∠C = 40°, what is ∠D?

Back

∠D = 50° (because 90° - 40° = 50°).
