The sum of the measures of two vertical angles is 300 solve for the measure of each angle
Let the measures of the two vertical angles be x and y. Since vertical angles are equal, we have:
x + y = 300
To solve this equation, we can solve for one variable in terms of the other and substitute it into the equation. Let's solve for x in terms of y:
x = 300 - y
Now we substitute this expression for x into the equation:
(300 - y) + y = 300
300 - y + y = 300
300 = 300
The equation holds true for any values of x and y as long as their sum is 300. Therefore, we can say that the measure of each angle can be any value as long as their sum is 300.
