Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
In a concert hall, two parallel sound panels are installed. If the angle of incidence of sound waves hitting the first panel is 30°, what is the alternate angle on the other panel, assuming they form a Z-pattern?
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate the measure of the alternate angle when a sound wave reflects between two parallel panels with an incident angle of 45°.
[2 marks]
3.
Construct a pair of parallel lines on the grid. Draw a Z-pattern that includes an angle of 60°. Label the alternate angles formed.
[3 marks]
4.
Fluency & Practice: If the interior angle at one point is 70°, what is the measure of the alternate exterior angle, assuming the lines are parallel?
[2 marks]
5.
Problem Solving & Reasoning: A sound engineer positions two speakers such that their rays of sound form a Z-pattern with an angle of 50°. If the incident angle from the source to the first speaker is 50°, what is the angle of reflection at the second speaker?
[4 marks]
6.
Real-world Application: In a music studio, two parallel reflective surfaces create sound paths forming a Z-pattern. If the angle at which sound hits the first surface is 40°, what is the alternate angle on the other side?
[2 marks]
7.
Challenge & Extension: A sound wave strikes two parallel panels, forming a 75° angle. Draw the Z-pattern and determine the measure of the alternate angle.
[3 marks]
8.
Mixed Review: On the grid, draw two parallel lines and sketch a Z-pattern with an interior angle of 55°. Label all angles, including alternate angles.
[3 marks]
9.
Error Analysis: A student claims that the alternate exterior angles formed in a Z-pattern are always supplementary. Explain whether this is correct and justify your answer.
[4 marks]
10.
Construct a Z-pattern with two parallel lines and an angle of 65°. Identify and label the alternate angles.
[3 marks]
