GOAL Identify vertical angles and linear pairs and identify complementary and
supplementary angles

VOCABULARY
Two angles are vertical angles if their sides form two pairs of opposite
rays.
Two adjacent angles are a linear pair if their noncommon sides are
opposite rays.
Chapter 1

Two angles are complementary angles if the sum of their measures is


90  . Each angle is the complement of the other.
Two angles are supplementary angles if the sum of their measures is
180  . Each angle is the supplement of the other.

EXAMPLE 1 Identifying Vertical Angles and Linear Pairs

a. Are 1 and 3 vertical angles?


b. Are 2 and 4 a linear pair?
2
c. Are 1 and 4 a linear pair? 1
3
4
SOLUTION

a. Yes. The sides of the angles form two pairs


of opposite rays.
b. No. The angles are not adjacent.
c. Yes. The angles are adjacent and their noncommon sides are opposite rays.

Chapter 1
a. Are 1 and 2 a linear pair? a. Are 1 and 5 a linear pair?
b. Are 1 and 3 vertical angles? b. Are 1 and 2 a linear pair?
c. Are 1 and 4 a linear pair? c. Are 1 and 4 vertical angles?
d. Are 2 and 4 vertical angles? d. Are 3 and 5 vertical angles?

EXAMPLE 2 Finding Angle Measures

Solve for x in the diagram at the right.


F
Then find the angle measures.

SOLUTION (7x  25) H


G
(5x  15)
Use the fact that vertical angles are congruent.
I
7x  25  5x  15
J
x  20
Use substitution to find the angle measures.
mFHI  7x  25  7 20  25  115
mGHJ  5x  15  5  20  15  115
Next, realize that FHI and FHG are a linear pair. So, the measures of these
two angles must sum to 180. So, mFHG  180  115, so mFHG  65.
Finally, notice that FHG and IHJ are vertical angles. So, mIHJ  65.
