Two angles in a vertical pair have measures that add to 70° . What is the measure of each angle?(
In a vertical pair of angles, the angles are formed by two intersecting lines. These angles are opposite each other and are equal in measure.
Let the measure of one angle be x degrees.
Since the angles are equal in measure, the measure of the other angle is also x degrees.
According to the given information, the sum of the measures of the two angles is 70 degrees:
x + x = 70
Simplifying the equation, we have:
2x = 70
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
x = 35
Therefore, each angle in the vertical pair has a measure of 35°.
