Exploring Special Pairs of Angles

This video tutorial covers section 2.4 of a geometry class, focusing on special pairs of angles. It begins with definitions of complementary and supplementary angles, followed by an explanation of vertical angles and their properties. The tutorial includes several example problems, demonstrating how to solve for angle measures using ratios, factoring, and systems of equations. It concludes with a two-column proof exercise, which is part of the homework assignment.
