Activity 2.5.2 The Vertical Angles Theorem
The Linear Pair Postulate
1. In the figure at the right, C lies between
⃑ . Name the linear
points A and B on 𝐴𝐡
pair of angles.
2. Find the sum of the measures of the linear pair.
3. With pencil and straightedge or software draw another linear pair of angles.
4. Measure the two angles you have drawn and find their sum.
5. A pair of angles is called supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180°.
The Linear Pair Postulate states that if two angles form a linear pair, then they are

On the previous page you may have conjectured that every pair of vertical angles are congruent.
Now you can prove this conjecture as a theorem. Give a justification for each step.
The Vertical Angles Theorem: If two lines intersect, then a pair of vertical angles formed are
congruent.
Given: Lines l and m intersect at Q.
∠1 and ∠2 are a pair of vertical angles.
Prove: m∠1 = m∠2.
Proof:
1. m∠1 + m∠3 = 180° Why?
2. m∠2 + m∠3 = 180° Why?
3. m∠1 + m∠3 = m∠2 + m∠3 Why?
4. m∠1 = m∠2 Why?
