What are angles that do not share a vertex?

Well it could be complementary or supplementary because they don't have to share a vertex yet I think you mean something like the vertical angle. You can go research vertical angles. I'll give you a link for the vertical angles. http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/vertical-angles.html

not all congruent angles are vertical angles. Vertical angles must share a vertex.


Which are verticals angles?

Generally vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross. "Vertical" in this case means they share the same Vertex (corner point), not the usual meaning of up-down.


What are the importance of studying geometry?

Geometry- is a branch of Mathematics concerned with the study of the properties of lines, angles, surfaces and solids.(Greek "Geo" meaning "Earth" and "Metron/Metrein" meaning "to measure".


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.

Why are angles opposite each other when two lines cross called vertical angles?

"Vertical" in this case means they share the same Vertex (corner point), not the usual meaning of up-down.


Can vertical angles be supplementary angles-?

Vertical angles can be supplementary angles if the lines are perpendicular and then both of the vertical angles would be 90 digress.


Two angles that are vertical are adjacent?

No they are not because adjacent angles are on the same side while vertical angles are on the opposite therefore vertical angles are non adjacent.
