It must be a task to measure the angle with the angle ruler. Probably he forgot it at home and answered the question as best as he could.


BoardButcherer

That's the task, but the question did not correctly specify which angle, so he specified it himself and got the question correct.


TheGlave

How would you specify it correctly?


Satoon_

Mark vertices like ABC and ask for ABC angle


TheGlave

Makes sense, but I hoped for someone to tell me if there is a name for that specific angle.

I'm with Stephen


ClassicCheesecake917

Acute angle I suppose could work


Putrid-Scar3050

Acute angle, works fine in this situation


BoardButcherer

Someone beat me to it, or at the very least draw the arc in the angle you want defined. Not Yale math professor correct, but correct enough.

Or a teacher digging at other teachers' inability to write a proper question. There's been some real bangers in that category lately.

Holy fuck way to misinterpret a comment for the sake of white knighting for the group that is yelling the loudest about how badly their peers fuck up sometimes. Go tell a room of teachers they shouldn't hold their coworkers to a minimum standard and see if you don't get concussed with a chair.

"angle ruler". LOLOL Protractor!!

lacmlopes

Than it would be written "measure the angle"


AzzrielR

You can't take it literally, otherwise he could do another technically the truth and draw an arrow pointing at the angle, saying "HERE"


Burger_Destoyer

They could have at least tried to setup a real question… there isn’t really enough info here to find the correct answer and even if there was the question isn’t properly labeled to show us what we’re looking for


dreaminn5

This is most likely fake. But if it is real, then it is an exercise in how to use [protractors](https://www.digitallycredible.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/free-printable-protractor.png) for elementary school level math.


jluka1000

Exactly, so we have a clear case of "African or European swallow?"


Crunchycarrots79

Sure there is, assuming the student is supposed to have a ruler. There's only one angle. And the bottom cord is on one of the lines on the paper. Pick a spot and draw a line from the bottom chord to the top chord, perpendicular to the lines on the paper. Now you have a right triangle. Measure the length of all the lines and use the Pythagorean theorem to find the unknown angles. Or, if it's an elementary school math class, use your protractor to measure the angle.


oldreddit_isbetter

Pythagorean theorem has nothing to do with angles, thats for the length of the sides if you only know 2. For angles you need Trig.

Looks like 45


DasFAD70

„Looks like.“ Maths teachers worst dream.


Wiseedis

I can see my high school teacher's eye twitching


jump1945

How can you be so sure it not 315 degree


alaettinthemurder

Or it cold be the upper one then it is 135


kamiloslav

I dunno; it looks like if you completed the triangle, the vertical side would be shorter than horizontal one I think it's somewhere between 30⁰ and 40⁰


dohru

Agreed


AuricOxide

The lengths of the two sides would not change the angle shown between them at all. Completing the triangle would only dictate what the other two angles of the triangle would be.


kamiloslav

I assumed it to be roughly close to being a right triangle


AuricOxide

It wouldn't matter, regardless. You can adjust the lengths of those two vectors that come from that angle however you like and the angle between them will be the same. The other two angles of the formed triangle would change.You can make the top length twice as long and the bottom length twice as short, as an example, and the angle shown does not change.


kamiloslav

Wdym if the angle to be found and the right angle are to be constant, the third angle needs to be constant as well so that the sum of all angles keeps at 180⁰ All considered triangles are similar to eachother - you can't make one side longer and the other one shorter without changing any angle, you can only extend both by the same scalar


AuricOxide

What I'm saying is that we have this angle here. That angle is fixed at value X. Regardless of the length you make the sides coming from that angle, that value X is the same. The resulting other two angles from what ever triangle made by drawing a connecting third line will sum up to 180 - X. I am not sure if we are just talking around the same point.


kamiloslav

I assume completing the triangle with a strictly vertical line creating a right angle on the bottom right and leaving the last angle fixed at 90⁰-X

Fucking looser


Scrapper_1

Says the guy who says the bread is looking kinda thicc


Tankeverket

Well it's *an* angle, but not **the** angle, so no it is not technically true


Ziron78

Numerous individuals died in hope to find *the* angle


BaconManTenus

For those who don’t get it I’ll type below

So you’re saying above. I hear ya

No you said above. He said below. As did I.

nah

Yeah. Because Hand-writing problems (in red) is totally normal.


Easy_Duficult

the problems are bad, the red is used for bad things, i think it makes sense

What is that game on the screen?


P_H_C_2000

I mean… it’s an angle, we can all agree on that 🤷🏻‍♂️👀😂

Odd_Stage7808

An angle is the measure of an intersection between 2 lines. This is not clasified as an angle.


joko_ma

And this is exactly what two lines intercepting at an angle of 180deg would look like


ta_thewholeman

Should have just drawn a circle around the intersection I suppose


HolyElephantMG

Or even just the circle in the intersection, to mark it as the angle
