Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the measure of angle x if it is co-interior with a 120° angle on a parallel line.
[2 marks]
2.
On two parallel lines cut by a transversal, one co-interior angle measures 75°. What is the measure of its adjacent co-interior angle?
[2 marks]
3.
Construct a pair of parallel lines with a transversal so that the co-interior angles are 110° and x°. Calculate the value of x.
[3 marks]
4.
If two co-interior angles on parallel lines are 130° and y°, what is the value of y?
[2 marks]
5.
A pair of parallel lines are cut by a transversal. The sum of two co-interior angles is 180°. If one angle is 85°, what is the measure of the other?
[2 marks]
6.
In a real-world scenario, a road is parallel to a canal. The angles of elevation from a point on the road to a bridge are 110° and 70° at two different points. Explain why these angles are co-interior and verify that they sum to 180°.
[4 marks]
7.
A diagram shows two parallel lines cut by a transversal, with one co-interior angle marked as 95°. Find the measure of the adjacent co-interior angle.
[2 marks]
8.
Two co-interior angles are 60° and 120°. Are the lines parallel? Justify your answer.
[3 marks]
9.
A teacher draws two parallel lines and a transversal. The angles formed are 45° and x°. What is the value of x?
[3 marks]
10.
Challenge Question: Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, forming a pair of co-interior angles. If one angle is (3x + 20)° and the other is (2x + 80)°, find x and the angles.
[4 marks]
11.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following statement: 'Co-interior angles on parallel lines are always equal.'
[3 marks]
