A
Fluency & Practice
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the missing angle in the diagram where the two co-interior angles are 65° and x°.
[2 marks]2.
If one co-interior angle is 120°, what is the other co-interior angle?
[1 mark]3.
Construct a pair of co-interior angles that sum to 180°, with one angle measuring 85°.
[2 marks]4.
Identify the error in the following statement: 'Since the angles are on the same side of the transversal and between the parallel lines, they must sum to 180°.'
[2 marks]B
Problem Solving & Reasoning
Answer all questions. Provide detailed explanations in the grid spaces.
1.
In a diagram, two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. One of the co-interior angles measures 130°. What is the measure of the other co-interior angle? Explain why.
[3 marks]2.
Two angles are marked as 75° and 105° on a diagram with parallel lines cut by a transversal. Are these angles co-interior? Justify your answer.
[3 marks]3.
Given the diagram shows a transversal crossing two parallel lines, with one co-interior angle labeled 110°, find the other co-interior angle and explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]C
Real-world Applications
Answer all questions. Use the grid for calculations and drawing if needed.
1.
A city road layout uses parallel roads crossed by a transversal at an intersection. If the angle between the transversal and one road is 65°, what is the measure of the co-interior angle on the opposite side? How could this knowledge help in designing the intersection?
[3 marks]D
Challenge & Extension
Answer all questions. These are more advanced problems to deepen understanding.
1.
Construct a diagram with two parallel lines cut by a transversal, where one co-interior angle is 125°. Use the grid to accurately draw and label the angles, then verify the other angle.
[4 marks]2.
Explain why co-interior angles are supplementary only when lines are parallel. Use a diagram to support your reasoning.
[4 marks]E
Mixed Review & Error Analysis
Answer all questions. Pay special attention to common misconceptions and errors.
1.
A student claims that co-interior angles always measure less than 180°. Is this true? Correct the misconception and provide an example.
[3 marks]2.
Identify and correct the mistake in this statement: 'If two angles are co-interior and both measure 90°, then the lines are parallel.'
