Answer:

Measure of each one of the vertical angles = 30 degrees.

Explanation:

Vertical angles are equal and opposite. If we have two vertical angles it means that both angles are equal .

As both angles are equal let both the angles be represented by x

Their sum is given by

x+x= 60 degrees

2x= 60 degrees

x= 60/2 degrees

x= 30 degrees

Measure of each one of the vertical angles = 30 degrees.
