Answer

$B$

Work Step by Step

Vertical angles are congruent. If they are also supplementary, then the sum of the two angles is $180^{\circ}$. The two vertical angles can be represented by the expression $2x$, where $x$ is the measure of one of the vertical angles. Let's set up the equation: $2x = 180$ Divide each side by $2$ to solve for $x$: $x = 90$ This answer corresponds to option $B$.
