Why are vertical angles used?

because 360 degrees is the total amount of degrees you can get. the degrees are essentially the angle measurement. anything that is 180 degrees is a vertical. so vertical angels are used to indicated a 180degree line.


How many degrees is a vertcal line?

A vertical line is 180 degrees.


How can you construct 135 degree angle only with a scale and compasses?

Construct a perpendicular line that intersects a horizontal line at 90 degrees and then bisect the vertical line with the horizontal line will give an obtuse angle of 135 degrees because 90 degrees+45 degrees = 135 degrees


Why is a straight line 180 degrees?

A straight line is defined as an angle of 180 degrees because it represents a half-turn around a point. In geometric terms, if you have a point and draw two rays emanating from it in opposite directions, the angle formed between these two rays measures 180 degrees. This is based on the full circle being 360 degrees, where a straight line corresponds to half of that total. Thus, the angle formed by a straight line is precisely half of a complete rotation.


Why is the greatest number or a right angles a triangle can have is one?

Draw a perpendicular line, then cross it with a horizontal line. Where the lines cross there are four right angles. Each angle measures 90 degrees and the total number of degrees is 360. By definition, any triangle will consist of a total of 180 degrees, no matter what the length of the legs. If the right angle consists of 90 degrees, then there cannot be another right angle in the triangle, because the 90 degrees still available must be split between the other two angles.
