Practice Questions

Q1 Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. If the corresponding angle is 52°, what is angle x?
Hint: Corresponding angles are equal (F-shape).

Corresponding angles are equal

x = 52°

Q2 Find the co-interior angle if one angle is 56°.
Hint: Co-interior angles add up to 180°.

Co-interior angles sum to 180°

x = 180° − 56° = 124°

Q3 The alternate angle is 137°. Find angle y.

Alternate angles are equal (Z-shape)

y = 137°

Q4 Angle a = 113°. Find the co-interior angle b.

Co-interior angles sum to 180°

b = 180° − 113° = 67°
