Understanding Vertical Angles

The video tutorial introduces vertical angles, explaining that they are angles across from each other formed by two intersecting lines. It describes how vertical angles are congruent, meaning they have equal measures. The tutorial provides examples, including calculations with specific angle measures, and explains the relationship between vertical and adjacent angles, noting that adjacent angles are supplementary and add up to 180 degrees.

What are vertical angles?

• Angles that are adjacent to each other

• Angles that are across from each other

• Angles that are complementary

• Angles that are supplementary
