Mathews-Pairs of Angles with a little algebra

Angles 1 and 3 are directly across from each other.

They are called vertical angles.  They share only a

vertex.  They always measure the same.  Therefore,

if angle 1 measures 27 degrees, angle 3 will

measure         degrees.

Angles 2 and 4 are also directly across from each other.

They are  vertical too.  They share only a

vertex.  They always measure the same.  Therefore,

if angle 2 measures 153 degrees, angle 4 will

measure         degrees.

Angles that make 180 degrees together are called

supplementary angles.  If we know the measure of

one angle, we can subtract from 180∘ to find the

missing angle.   180∘   - 50∘   =
