trash diagram too, the 90 degree looking center angle is actually 80 on the left, 100 on the right.

180 - (100 + 35) = y

x = 180 -y

I can't be assed to do the simple math

135°.

The non-right-angle is downright cheeky.

trash diagram too

A lot of those standardized tests like SAT or GRE like to put those in (or at least they used to) on purpose. It wasn't that they couldn't render the diagrams correctly, instead they were checking for people making assumptions with information that wasn't given. To be somewhat fair I seem to recall a disclaimer that they weren't necessarily drawn accurately.

Often they also have multiple slightly different versions of the numbers so people don't cheat by copying their neighbor's solution but the diagram is the same.

You mean the simple math of 180 - 180 is too much? Or 100 + 35?

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

yep. I wasn't paying enough attention
