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 angle A and angle B are adjacent and angle A measures 50 degrees, what is the relationship between angle A and angle B?

Back

Angle A and angle B are supplementary if they form a linear pair, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

What is the formula to find the measure of an angle if you know the measure of its adjacent angle?

Back

If the two angles are adjacent and form a linear pair, you can use the formula: Measure of angle A + Measure of angle B = 180 degrees.
