Vertical angles are two angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect. Vertical angles are congruent, meaning that they have the same measure.
Let x be the measure of one of the vertical angles.
The other vertical angle would also have a measure of x.
According to the problem, the sum of the measures of two vertical angles is 300°:
x + x = 300°
2x = 300°
x = 150°
So each vertical angle has a measure of 150°.
Therefore, the answer is 150°.
