Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If two lines intersect, what is the sum of the angles formed at the intersection? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that when two lines intersect, they cross each other at a point.
  • Step 2: Recognize that this intersection creates four angles around that point.
  • Step 3: Identify that these four angles can be grouped into two pairs of vertically opposite angles.
  • Step 4: Know that vertically opposite angles are equal, meaning each pair has the same measure.
  • Step 5: Remember that the total sum of all angles around a point is 360 degrees.
  • Step 6: Since there are two pairs of equal angles, we can say that the sum of the angles in one pair is 180 degrees.
  • Step 7: Conclude that the sum of the angles formed at the intersection of the two lines is 180 degrees.
