Question
pairs and vertical angles
which pair of angles are vertical angles?
∠vru and ∠trs
∠vrt and ∠srt
∠wrs and ∠vrt
∠wru and ∠srt
Step1: Recall the definition of vertical angles
Vertical angles are a pair of non - adjacent angles formed by the intersection of two lines. They are opposite each other.
Step2: Analyze each option
- For $\angle VRU$ and $\angle TRS$: They are not formed by the intersection of two lines in the required non - adjacent, opposite way.
- For $\angle VRT$ and $\angle SRT$: These are adjacent angles (share a common side), so not vertical angles.
- For $\angle WRS$ and $\angle VRT$: $\angle WRS$ and $\angle VRT$ are vertical angles. When two lines intersect (in this case, the line with points \(T - R - W\) and the line with points \(V - R - S\)), $\angle WRS$ and $\angle VRT$ are non - adjacent and opposite each other.
- For $\angle WRU$ and $\angle SRT$: They are not formed by the intersection of two lines in the vertical - angle - forming way.
