Exactly.
Add to this that x
is literally impossible to calculate if conventions are not assumed, and absolutely possible to calculate if conventions are followed. Assuming the conventions won’t hold is an irrational position.

Assuming you’re talking about the triangle on the left, it’s 80⁰: 180 - 60 - 40 = 80
. The other two unlabeled angles are 100⁰ and 45⁰ respectively. None of the unlabelled angles are 60⁰.
It’s really not that wild, many legal immigrants want to pull the ladder up behind them.

That’s technically possible, but that’s also an irrational take. The rational take is to assume the problem is solvable given the available information, which means assuming that the lines are straight.
Yes, two angles appear to be 90⁰, but they’re obviously not with the given information. Math conventions nearly always label right angles, so not having the right angle there implies that the angle should not be assumed to be 90⁰. Math conventions in trigonometry also generally assume straight lines unless there’s a visual indicator that they’re not, and those tend to be exaggerated so it’s obvious.
So the rational answer here is that the bottom line is straight and therefore the problem is solvable. Saying otherwise is irrational, because that’s so far away from math conventions.
