Angle:

the ` a ` and ` 30 degree ` angles are called ` vertical angles ` what do you know about vertical angles?

skrtkobainn:

each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines.

Angle:

yes, that is google's definition I would recommend looking at the picture options of "vertical angles", it might be more helpful sometimes

ok

skrtkobainn:

so for my question i just need to find out what the measures of angles a, b, and c

skrtkobainn:

how do i do that ?

Angle:

yes, vertical angles are equal to each other a and 30 are vertical angles

Angle:

what is a equal to?

skrtkobainn:

so a is = to 30?

Angle:

yes :)

skrtkobainn:

how di i find what b is equal to ?

Angle:

a, b, and the 90 degree angles make a triangle the angles in a triangle should always add up to 180 degrees

Angle:

we already know that ` a = 30 ` so this means that a + b + 90 = 180 then 30 + b + 90 = 180 what would b equal?

skrtkobainn:

would i do 180 + 180?

Angle:

nope... What can I add to 30 + 90 to get 180?

skrtkobainn:

60

Angle:

nice :)

skrtkobainn:

so b=60

Angle:

yes

skrtkobainn:

ok and how do i find c?

Angle:

c and the 75 degree angle are a "linear pair"

Angle:

linear pairs will always add up to equal 180 degrees

skrtkobainn:

what numbers would i add?

Angle:

c + 75 = 180

skrtkobainn:

c=105 ?

Angle:

you got it
