At a crossing of two lines, one angle is 70°. How large is the angle across from it?
A110°
B20°
C290°
D70°
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 70°
1. Angles opposite each other at a crossing are vertical angles.
2. Vertical angles are always equal, so the opposite angle is 70°.
3. 110° is the angle next to it on the line (180° - 70°), not the opposite one.
