Question 1: In the diagram, a transversal crosses two parallel lines, forming a Z-shape pattern. If one of the alternate angles labeled A is 65°, find the value of the angle directly adjacent to it on the same transversal.

Answer: 115

Question 2: Construct a diagram showing two parallel lines cut by a transversal, with angles marked for the Z-pattern. Label the angles and verify that alternate angles are equal when one is 70°. Show all reasoning.

Answer: 70° and 70°

Question 3: A pair of parallel lines are cut by a transversal. One of the angles in the Z-pattern is 50°. Calculate the other corresponding angle on the same side of the transversal.

Answer: 50

Question 4: A student draws two parallel lines and a transversal forming a Z-pattern. They mistakenly identify an angle of 110° as an alternate angle. Explain what the mistake is and correct the angle based on the Z-pattern rules.

Answer: The 110° is a corresponding angle, not an alternate angle. The correct alternate angle should be 70°.

Question 5: In a diagram, two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. If an exterior angle is 120°, find the interior alternate angle using the Z-pattern.

Answer: 60

Question 6: Using the Z-pattern, prove that alternate angles are equal when two lines are parallel. Write a brief explanation.

Answer: Because the Z-pattern shows that alternate angles are corresponding angles, which are equal when lines are parallel.

Question 7: Calculate the value of angle x in the diagram where a Z-pattern is formed and one of the angles is 85°. The angles are on the same side of the transversal.

Answer: 95

Question 8: Construct a complex diagram with two sets of parallel lines and a transversal creating multiple Z-patterns. Identify at least three pairs of equal alternate angles and justify your answer.

Answer: Angles 1 and 2, Angles 3 and 4, Angles 5 and 6 are equal because of the Z-pattern and parallel lines.

Question 9: A real-world scenario: A railway track has two parallel rails. A crane operator notices the angles formed by a swinging cable and the rails. If one angle in the Z-pattern is 45°, what is the measure of the alternate angle on the same side?

Answer: 45

Question 10: Challenge: Two lines are cut by a transversal. The angles in the Z-pattern include angles of 110° and 70°. Identify which is which and justify your answer based on properties of parallel lines and transversals.

Answer: 110° is a corresponding angle, and 70° is its alternate angle; they are equal if the lines are parallel.

Question 11: Error Analysis: A student claims that in the Z-pattern, all angles are equal to 60°. Identify the mistake and explain the correct relationship of the angles.

Answer: The mistake is assuming all angles are equal; in the Z-pattern, only alternate or corresponding angles are equal, not all.
