Question

Two vertical angles that are added together equal 96º. What is the measurement of one of these vertical angles?


a
180º


b
48º


c
96º


d
90º

Answer 1

Answer:

b) 48°

Explanation:

Since Vertically Opposite Angles Are Equal

Answer 2

Property :

Vertical angles are equal.

Explanation:

Let the first angle be x.

2nd angle = x (Vertically Opposite Angles are equal)

x + x = 96° (The sum of the 2 angles is given as 96° in the question)

2x = 96°

x = $\frac{96}{2}$

x = 48°

Answer:

b) 48°
