By definition, two angles form a linear pair if and only if 

(1) they have the same vertex;

(2) they share a side; and,

(3) their interiors have no points in common.

 is the angle with vertex ; its two sides are the rays  and , which have endpoint  and pass through  and , respectively.  has the same vertex; its two sides are the rays  and , which have endpoint  and pass through  and , respectively.  and  are indicated below in red and green, respectively:

The angles have the same vertex and they share a side. However, the interior of  is entirely contained in the interior of . The angles do not comprise a linear pair.

A quadrilateral is named after its four vertices in consecutive order, going clockwise or counterclockwise. Quadrilateral  is the figure in red, below:

, , , and  also name the four vertices in clockwise order. It follows that Quadrilateral  is another valid name for the figure.

 and  form a pair of vertical angles, and are consequently congruent whether or not it holds that . Therefore, whether the lines are parallel cannot be determined.

 and  are both inside the two lines  and , and they appear on opposite sides of transversal . They are thus alternate interior angles, by definition, and since they are congruent, then by the Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, it follows that ,

 The letters in the name of a triangle name its vertices, so  refers to the triangle with vertices , , and . A triangle is named after its vertices in any order, so this triangle can also be called .

 and  form a linear pair of angles and are supplementary regardless of whether or not . 

 and  form a linear pair of angles, and are therefore supplementary; the same holds for  and . Angles that are supplementary to congruent angles are themselves congruent, so, since , it follows that .

Notice that  and  are corresponding angles. This means that they possess the same angular measurements; thus, we can write the following:

Now, notice that  and the provided angle of  angle are vertical angles. Vertical angles share the same angle measurements; therefore, we may write the following:

If  and , then 

Let's begin by observing the larger angle.  is cut into two 10-degree angles by . This means that angles  and  equal 10 degrees. Next, we are told that  bisects , which creates two 5-degree angles.   consists of , which is 10 degrees, and , which is 5 degrees. We need to add the two angles together to solve the problem.
