Question

At an intersection of two lines, two angles are vertically opposite. If one of the angles measures $45^\circ$, what is the measure of the other angle?

The correct answer is
$45^\circ$

To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of vertically opposite angles. Vertically opposite angles are equal when two lines intersect. This is a fundamental property of intersecting lines in geometry.

  1. Given that two lines intersect, four angles are formed at the intersection.
  2. The problem states that one of the angles measures \(45^\circ\).
  3. Since vertically opposite angles are equal, the angle directly opposite the \(45^\circ\) angle must also measure \(45^\circ\).

Therefore, the measure of the other angle, which is vertically opposite to the given angle of \(45^\circ\), is also \(45^\circ\).

Conclusion: The measure of the other angle is \(45^\circ\), which is choice $45^\circ$ in the given options.
