When two lines meet at a point, they create two pairs of opposite angles. The angles in each pair are called vertical angles.
Vertical angles are always congruent.
In the diagram above, and are vertical angles and are therefore congruent.
Likewise, and are vertical angles and are therefore congruent.
So, we have and
Given the figure below, find the value of
The two angles marked in the diagram are vertical. Since vertical angles are congruent, we have:

In the figure below, is a straight angle. Determine
Since is straight, So by the angle addition postulate, we have
Substituting the given expressions into the above, we can solve for as follows:
Now that we know we can calculate as follows:
