This would be much easier with a pic, but since I cant draw one for you here, you will need some imagination. Let us take 2 lines and create vertical angles at the intersection of those lines. I am going to call the pairs of vertical angles A, A' and B and B' where A and A' are vertical and B and B' are vertical. Now in your drawing notice that the sum of the degrees of A and B is 180 degrees, they are suplementary. But the sum of A and B' is also 180 degrees. So this means that the measure of B is equal to the measure of B'. We can do the same with A and A'.

What is vertically opposite angle?

Vertically opposite angles are the angles that are formed when two lines intersect. When the lines cross, they create two pairs of opposite angles that are equal in measure. For example, if two lines intersect and form angles of 40 degrees and 140 degrees, the angles across from each other (the vertically opposite angles) will both be 40 degrees and 140 degrees, respectively. This property is a fundamental concept in geometry.
