Key concepts

3 concepts

  1. 1

    Vertical angles are angles across from each other at the intersection of two lines, and they are always equal.

  2. 2

    When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line, two intersections are formed, each containing two pairs of vertical angles.

  3. 3

    To solve for unknown angles, remember that vertical angles are equal in measure, so you can set up a matching game across the intersection.
