Mark scheme · 4.10D Angles in Parallel Lines: Fluency and Exam Drill
Question 1
B1 y = 118 cao
B1 correct reason: corresponding angles are equal (l parallel to m)
Answer: y = 118 degrees
Question 2
B1 y = 47 cao
B1 correct reason: alternate angles are equal (l parallel to m)
Answer: y = 47 degrees
Question 3
M1 180 - 108 oe, using co-interior angles sum to 180
A1 y = 72 cao
Answer: y = 72 degrees
Question 4
M1 z = 180 - 63 = 117 (angles on a straight line EF at H)
A1 angle BAC = 180 - 52 - 65 = 63 cao (angle sum of a triangle)
Answer: angle BAC = 63 degrees
Question 14
B1 correctly identifies x and y as alternate angles
B1 states that alternate angles on parallel lines are equal
Answer: x = y because they are alternate angles, and alternate angles between parallel lines are equal
Question 15
M1 y = 180 - 108, using co-interior (allied) angles sum to 180
A1 y = 72
M1 z = 180 - y (angles on a straight line) or z = 108 (corresponding angles are equal)
A1 z = 108
Answer: y = 72 degrees; z = 108 degrees
Question 16
M1 (4x + 10) + (2x + 20) = 180 oe, using co-interior angles sum to 180
M1 6x + 30 = 180 (oe simplification)
A1 x = 25 cao
A1 angles = 110 degrees and 70 degrees, ft from their x
Answer: x = 25; angles = 110 degrees and 70 degrees
Question 17
B1 identifies the two marked angles as being in corresponding positions
M1 states the correct test: two lines are parallel if and only if a pair of corresponding angles is equal
A1 121 is not equal to 118 (correct comparison of the two given values)
A1 correct conclusion that AB is not parallel to CD
B1 full explanation given, e.g. if AB were parallel to CD the corresponding angles at G and H would both be equal, but 121 and 118 differ by 3 degrees, so the lines are not parallel
Answer: Ama is incorrect; AB is not parallel to CD, since the corresponding angles (121 degrees and 118 degrees) are not equal
