Vertical angles are always equal
When two straight lines cross they always create two pairs of
equal opposite angles, called vertical angles.
Each angle has to form a supplementary pair with either of
the angles on the other side of it, so they must be equal.

Save yourself a ton of
math by spotting equal
pairs of vertical angles.
These two
are equal.
These two are
also equal.

Patterns in geometry aren’t just coincidence
These relationships are how geometry works…and to see a
really freaky one, try this:

Cut the triangle out.
Tear the corners off.
And then put the three corner pieces together with
the points in the middle.
Weird, huh?
