Are vertical angles congruent or supplementary angles?
Vertical angles are always, by definition, congruent. Note: If the two vertical angles are right angles then they are both congruent and supplementary.
What is a counter example for the statement congruent angles are always vertical angles?
Vertical angles must necessarily be congruent, however congruent angles do not necessarily have to be vertical angles. An example of congruent angles which are not vertical angles are the 3 interior angles of an equilateral triangle. These angles do not share the same vertex yet they are congruent.
What is an obtuse vertical angle?
Angles larger than a right angle and smaller than two right angles (between 90° and 180°) are called obtuse angles("obtuse" meaning "blunt").
Can a pair of obtuse angles be vertical angles?
No
What angles are always congruent?
vertical angles
Are vertical and supplementary right angles?
No, right angles are 90 degrees, supplementary and vertical angles are 180 degrees.
Are vertical angles congruent or supplementary angles?
Vertical angles are always, by definition, congruent. Note: If the two vertical angles are right angles then they are both congruent and supplementary.
Is it possible to have a pair of vertical angles that are right angles?
no
What is the word for right angles to vertical?
obtuse
What are vertivle angles?
I think you mean vertical angles. Vertical angles are formed by two intersecting lines that make what looks like an X. Vertical angles are the two angles that are across from each other, either the top and bottom 2 angles or the left and right 2 angles. Vertical angles are also always congruent!
At the right angle to a vertical line is called?
A line that is at right angles to a vertical line is said to be horizontal.
Can two vertical angles be both be right angles?
ya, they're perpendicular lines
What one what are not sets of equivalent angles supplementary vertical corresponding and right angles?
Supplementary.
Can vertical angles be right angles?
Sure, as long as the two intersecting lines are perpendicular.
Is angle in a parallelogram vertical to each other?
The term parallelogram refers to a four sided geometrical figure (in other words, a quadrilateral) in which there are two sets of parallel sides. The angles can vary; they can be right angles, or they can be acute or obtuse angles, as long as there are two sets of parallel sides. Angles are not said to be vertical to each other. Angles can be perpendicular to each other, but not vertical or horizontal. If angles are perpendicular, then they are right angles, in other words, 90o angles. Lines can be vertical, but angles can't.
Are two angles congruent if and only if they are vertical?
Of course not. The right angles at the corners of my book are certainly not vertical with the right angles at the corners of your computer screen, but they're congruent. The "if" is true, but the "only if" is not. Verticality is sufficient but not necessary for congruence.
What is the difference between vertical angles and congruent angles?
not all congruent angles are vertical angles. Vertical angles must share a vertex.
