Question

Which angles are vertical angles in the figure shown? Select two answers.

Answer 1

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are formed when you make lines make an  x shape (or a turned x shape).  The vertical angles are, on a normally positioned x the top and bottom angle, as well as the left and right angle.  so every x has 2 vertcial angles unless the x is further split up.

So the part with angles 1. 2. 3 and 4 the top angle is 2, the bottom is 3, the left angle is 1 and the right angle is 4.  This means the vertical angle pairs are 1 and 4 as well as 2 and 3.

So in total there are 2 x shapes, so 4 pairs of vertical angles.  Here are all the vertical angles.

1 and 4

2 and 3

5 and 8

6 and 7

So from your choices you have 2 and 3 as choice B and 5 and 8 as choice C.
