135° for anyone wondering.

Iâd get out my red pen and write: âBad diagram. -1pt See me after class.â

Yes, simple doodle below for anyone wondering. You start from left, and calculate them 1 by 1, based on the angles that you already know. It is quite simple actually, you just have to know they always add up to 180 (within triangle, and when you âsplitâ the space over a straight line).

you mean to say the right angles arenât right angles? disgusting, get this outta my sight

evil math teacher laughing in background
spiffpitt@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
this diagram does not provide a right angle indicator, and thus should not be assumed as a right angle
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
yes thatâs the stupid excuse my math teacher would give
Maalus@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Nope. The value is âundefinedâ. You donât have enough info to arrive at 135 - you are assuming that the bottom angle (sum of the angles that touch) is 180 degrees. Since there isnât a datum saying the bottom âlineâ is straight, nor does it say the triangle on the right is an isosceles triangle, it is impossible to solve.

I donât see any indication that this is limited to the Euclidean plane either
BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Haha, I love this.
Also nothing indicates the numbers are Arabic numerals.
gedaliyah@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
You canât prove itâs not hexadecimal.

I think assuming 2 line segments which make up a larger straight line segment to be parallel is generally accepted practice, and that would trump the angles that are drawn inaccurately.
Of course, itâd be better to put a hash through them both to indicate theyâre parallel, especially given the deceptively drawn most-likely-not-a-right-angle.

For context: it used to be 675° a few years back so the math checks out.

I got 125.
180-(90-35)=x 180-55=x 125=x
LotrOrc@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
How assuming it is a right angle Nothing stays that it is
shasta@lemm.ee â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Even if it was a right angle, I think a second assumption is that the top left and bottom lines are equal length, which is also not stated.
I think thereâs just not enough information in this picture to calculate the angle, and it can only be determined by measuring. But the image also does not specify that it is drawn to scale.
ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oh shit youâre right
erin@lemmy.blahaj.zone â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
It isnât 90 degrees because the image is misleading. 60+40+y=180. y=80
expatriado@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
correct, just commening the 100/80 intersection looks like 90/90, i think it was intentionally misleading, classic trying to get you problem
Worx@lemmynsfw.com â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
What a bunch of bullshit. Just draw it way off 90 if you donât want people to use a protractor. I calculated 125° because of this (but Iâm happy I still got the right wrong answer, if that makes sense)
rockerface@lemm.ee â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
In my geometry classes, itâs only 90 degrees if itâs marked by a right angle marker. Otherwise, no matter how ârightâ it looks, if you assume before proving, itâs on you.
jdeath@lemm.ee â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
this is a meme tho. i wanted to treat it like a âreal lifeâ problem where if i saw those obviously 90 degree corners, i would just say itâs 90 because nowhere else in all my life outside of stupid schoolwork trick questions would that happen. which meant i got to the answer in a few seconds, which is a handy skill in real life.

Its not bulshit, its conventions that make a lot more whole sense later on.
SendMePhotos@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yes I originally thought 90 but then noticed the absence of a right angle sign. Also 60+40=100 which means the last angle should be 80. Making that perpendicular 100/80
