One of the angles formed at the intersection of two straight lines is 124 degrees. Find the degree measures of the remaining angles.

We know that when two straight lines intersect, one of the angles is formed equal to 124 °. In order to find the degree measures of the remaining angles, you and I must first of all remember what angles are formed at the intersection of straight lines and what property they have.

So, when two straight lines intersect, then we get two pairs of vertical angles that are equal to each other.

That is, we get a pair of 124 ° angles.

Also, when crossing, adjacent angles are formed (their sum is 180 °).

x + 124 = 180;

x = 180 – 124;

x = 56 °.

And a pair of 56 ° vertical angles.
