If two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

<h3>What is a line?</h3>

A line is a one-dimensional figure, which has length but no width. A line is made of a set of points which is extended in opposite directions infinitely.

To prove, two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

Suppose there are two lines AB and CD intersecting at a point O.

So, the angles a and c ; b and d are vertically opposite.

Now taking line AB,

Since sum of angles made on a straight line is 180°.

Thus ∠a + ∠b = 180°    ...(i)

Similarly taking line CD,

∠b + ∠c = 180°            ....(ii)

Comparing eq (i)  and (ii) we get,

∠a + ∠b = ∠b + ∠c

Therefore, we get

∠a = ∠c

which are vertically opposite angles.

Taking line CD,

Since sum of angles made on a straight line is 180°.

Thus ∠c + ∠b = 180°    ...(iii)

Similarly taking line CD,

∠c + ∠d = 180°            ....(iv)

Comparing eq (iii)  and (iv) we get,

∠c + ∠b = ∠c + ∠d

Therefore, we get

∠b = ∠d

which are vertically opposite angles.

Thus, if two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

Which of the following could be the lenght of the sides of a 30 -60 -90 degree triangle
cupoosta [38]
There’s no picture so I’ll give my own answers.
The long side needs to be x radical 3, the short leg is just x, and the hypotenuse is 2x. So one example could be 5 radical 3, 5, and 5 times 2

Mia's checking account balance is overdrawn by $52.65.
Svetach [21]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

So to start, Mia has an account that is overdrawn by $52.65 so her account is negative 52.65. She then adds 135.50 and used 24.30 so you would add 135.50 and 24.30 respectively. This would be (-52.65) + (132.50) - (24.30). This then would get you $58.55
