A
Fluency & Practice
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the value of angle x if it is vertically opposite to a 60° angle.
[2 marks]2.
In the diagram, two intersecting lines form an angle of 125°. Find the measure of the vertically opposite angle.
[2 marks]3.
A pair of vertically opposite angles are each x degrees. If one angle is 45°, find x.
[2 marks]4.
Construct two intersecting lines to form an angle of 70°. Calculate the measure of the vertically opposite angle.
[3 marks]B
Problem Solving & Reasoning
Solve the following multi-step problems and explain your reasoning.
1.
Lines AB and CD intersect at point O, forming an angle of 110°. Find the measure of the vertically opposite angle, and explain why these angles are equal.
[4 marks]2.
Given two intersecting lines with one angle measuring 85°, find all four angles around the intersection point. Show your calculations.
[4 marks]C
Real-world Applications
Apply your understanding to solve these contextual problems.
1.
A carpenter cuts two pieces of wood that intersect, forming angles. If one of the angles is 70°, what is the measure of the vertically opposite angle? How might this knowledge be useful in ensuring a proper joint?
[3 marks]D
Challenge & Extension
Attempt these advanced questions to deepen your understanding.
1.
Lines XY and ZW intersect at point P, creating an angle of 130°. A third line intersects XY at point Q, forming an adjacent angle of 55°. Calculate the measure of the vertically opposite angle at P, considering the intersecting lines, and justify your answer.
[4 marks]2.
In a complex diagram, multiple intersecting lines form various angles. If two intersecting lines produce an angle of 120°, determine all possible angles around the intersection point, assuming symmetrical properties. Explain your reasoning.
[4 marks]E
Mixed Review & Error Analysis
Answer the questions below and review common mistakes.
1.
A student states that in intersecting lines, the angles of 65° and 115° are vertically opposite. Is this correct? If not, identify the mistake and provide the correct reasoning.
[3 marks]2.
Correct the following statement: 'Angles formed by intersecting lines are always supplementary.'
