    And if we can’t assume that, then what are we even doing

    That’s exactly what the other user is saying. We can’t assume straight lines because the given angles don’t make any sense and thus this graph is literally impossible to make. We’re arguing over literal click bait is what we’re doing.

        Because the angles aren’t represented accurately. It could be that the two angles that look like they’re 90° add up to 180°, but they could also not
