Two lines intersect at point \(P\). \(\text{One}~\text{angle}\) is \(68°\), the opposite angle is \(a\), and an adjacent angle is \(b\). Identify \(\text{every}~\text{statement}\) that must be true.
A. \(a~=~68°\)
B. \(b~=~68°\)
C. \(a~+~b~=~180°\)
D. \(b~=~112°\)
E. \(a~+~68~=~180\)
F. \(b\) and the \(68°\) angle are vertical angles
What this problem is really about
Map each label’s position relative to the given angle before testing any statement. The directly opposite angle inherits the given measure through vertical-angle equality, while either adjacent angle completes a straight-angle sum with it. Use those two facts to determine the unknown relationships, then check every claim independently rather than relying on how the intersection looks.
