vertical angles are equal, right?

So you know the vertical angle is 72.

What are the supplementary angles to the 72 degree angles?

anonymous · Answer

Ohhh, I think the other 2 would be 108.... Maybe...... I think :3

anonymous · Answer

yes, you are right...

So you have one 72 degree angle vertical to the angle they gave you, and two 108 degree angles that are also vertical angles to each other.
