A

Fluency & Practice

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the measure of angle A if it is part of a C-pattern with a 120° angle on the same transversal crossing parallel lines.
[2 marks]
2.
If the two co-interior angles are supplementary and one angle measures 75°, what is the value of the other?
[2 marks]
3.
On a diagram, two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. If one angle in the C-pattern is 85°, find the corresponding co-interior angle.
[2 marks]
4.
Construct a diagram on the grid showing two parallel lines and a transversal with a C-pattern where one co-interior angle is 110°. Label all angles.
[2 marks]
B

Problem Solving & Reasoning

Answer all questions. Provide detailed reasoning for each.
1.
Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, forming a C-pattern with one angle measuring 130°. Find the measures of the other three angles in the pattern. Explain your reasoning.
[4 marks]
2.
In a real-world scenario, a road intersects a railway track with two parallel tracks. The transversal line represents a security barrier. If one co-interior angle is 70°, what is the angle on the opposite side of the barrier? Justify your answer.
[4 marks]
3.
A student claims that all angles in a C-pattern are equal. Using a diagram, evaluate and explain if this is true or false.
[3 marks]
C

Real-world Applications

Solve the following problems involving C-patterns in real-world contexts.
1.
A city planner designs a crossing with two parallel roads and a transversal for pedestrian pathways. If one angle in the C-pattern is 45°, determine all other angles formed around the crossing. Explain how this helps ensure safety.
[4 marks]
D

Challenge & Extension

Attempt these advanced problems. Show detailed working and reasoning.
1.
Prove that if a transversal crosses two parallel lines, then the sum of the measures of the two co-interior angles in the C-pattern is always 180°. Include a formal proof.
[5 marks]
2.
Design a complex diagram with multiple transversal lines crossing a set of parallel lines to create several C-patterns. Identify and label all pairs of co-interior angles and verify their supplementary nature.
[5 marks]
3.
A new type of angle pattern emerges when lines are not perfectly parallel. Describe how the properties of the C-pattern change and what methods can be used to verify angles are supplementary.
[4 marks]
E

Mixed Review & Error Analysis

Answer all questions carefully. Identify common mistakes and correct them.
1.
A student claims that in a C-pattern, the angles are always equal. Provide an example where this is incorrect and explain why.
[3 marks]
2.
Identify and correct the mistake in this reasoning: 'Since the angles are equal in the C-pattern, they must both measure 90°.'
[2 marks]
