Angle B = 38° (option C)
This is because vertical angles are congruent

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

C. B = 38°

Explanation:

A vertical angle is created when two lines intersect, and are a pair of two non adjacent angles that are opposite from the origin, so both angles are going to measure the same.

Since both vertical angles are the same, both measure 38º.

Vertical angles are shown in the image:In this case the angle A would be the omega, and the B is the alfa.

If angleA and angleB are vertical angles, and angleA = 38°, find the measure of angleB-example-1
