minus-squarebrisk@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·19 hours agoThis was certainly not my experience in high school. An unlabelled angle could never be assumed. Only angles marked with a square could be taken as right angles.

normally in a geometric proof, a right angle is a right angle

guess you’re right!
