the area where the solutions are in the yellow area
Explanation:
The angles are <em>vertical angles</em> if the opposites of the rays forming one of the angles are the rays forming the other angle.
More formally, if V is the common vertex, and ...
- R is a point on one of the rays forming Angle 1
- S is a point on the ray that is the opposite of ray VR
- T is a point on the other ray forming Angle 1
- U is a point on the ray that is the opposite of ray VT
Then angle RVT and angle SVU are vertical angles.
___
Another way to say this is that points R, V, S are collinear, as are points T, V, U, and the two angles of interest are RVT and SVU.
If the above conditions cannot be met, then the angles are not vertical angles.
