Vertical Angles
Here you’ll learn about vertical angles and how they can help you to solve problems in geometry.
What if you want to know how opposite pairs of angles are related when two lines cross, forming four angles? After
completing this Concept, you’ll be able to apply the properties of these special angles to help you solve problems in
geometry.

James Sousa:Vertical Angles
Guidance
Vertical angles are two non-adjacent angles formed by intersecting lines. In the picture below, 6 1 and 6 3 are vertical
angles and 6 2 and 6 4 are vertical angles.
Notice that these angles are labeled with numbers. You can tell that these are labels because they do not have a
degree symbol.

Investigation: Vertical Angle Relationships
1. Draw two intersecting lines on your paper. Label the four angles created 6 1, 6 2, 6 3, and 6 4. See the picture
above.
2. Take your protractor and find m6 1.
3. What is the angle relationship between 6 1 and 6 2? Find m6 2.
4. What is the angle relationship between 6 1 and 6 4? Find m6 4.
5. What is the angle relationship between 6 2 and 6 3? Find m6 3.
6. Are any angles congruent? If so, write down the congruence statement.
From this investigation, hopefully you found out that 6 1 ∼
= 6 3 and 6 2 ∼
= 6 4. This is our first theorem. That means it
must be proven true in order to use it.
Vertical Angles Theorem: If two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent.
We can prove the Vertical Angles Theorem using the same process we used above. However, let’s not use any
specific values for the angles.
From the picture above:
1 and 6 2 are a linear pair
m6 1 + m6 2 = 180◦
6
2 and 6 3 are a linear pair
m6 2 + m6 3 = 180◦
6
3 and 6 4 are a linear pair
m6 3 + m6 4 = 180◦
6
All of the equations = 180◦ , so set the
m6 1 + m6 2 = m6 2 + m6 3
first and second equation equal to
AND
each other and the second and third.
m6 2 + m6 3 = m6 3 + m6 4
Cancel out the like terms
m6 1 = m6 3, m6 2 = m6 4
Recall that anytime the measures of two angles are equal, the angles are also congruent.
Example A
Find m6 1 and m6 2.
1 is vertical angles with 18◦ , so m6 1 = 18◦ .
180◦ − 18◦ = 162◦ .
6
6
2 is a linear pair with 6 1 or 18◦ , so 18◦ + m6 2 = 180◦ . m6 2 =
Example B
Name one pair of vertical angles in the diagram below.

Concept 1. Vertical Angles
One example is 6 INJ and 6 MNL.
Example C
If 6 ABC and 6 DBF are vertical angles and m6 ABC = (4x + 10)◦ and m6 DBF = (5x + 2)◦ , what is the measure of
each angle?
Vertical angles are congruent, so set the angles equal to each other and solve for x. Then go back to find the measure
of each angle.
4x + 10 = 5x + 2
x=8
So, m6 ABC = m6 DBF = (4(8) + 10)◦ = 42◦

Answers:
1. Vertical angles are congruent, so set the angles equal to each other and solve for x.
x + 16 = 4x − 5
3x = 21
x = 7◦
2. Vertical angles are congruent, so set the angles equal to each other and solve for y.
9y + 7 = 2y + 98
7y = 91
y = 13◦
3. Vertical angles are congruent, so set the angles equal to each other and solve for y.
11y − 36 = 63
11y = 99
y = 9◦
