Since there isn’t a datum saying the bottom “line” is straight, nor does it say the triangle on the right is an isosceles triangle, it is impossible to solve.

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, it’d be better to put a hash through them both to indicate they’re parallel, especially given the deceptively drawn most-likely-not-a-right-angle.

I don’t see any indication that this is limited to the Euclidean plane either

Haha, I love this.
Also nothing indicates the numbers are Arabic numerals.

You can’t prove it’s not hexadecimal.
