What you say makes no sense.

The problem is LITERALLY unsolvable if we can’t assume that all the lines are straight.

The schematic was OF COURSE purposefully drawn in a way to make the viewer assume that the third angle of the left triangle is 90°, making the angle to it’s right also be 90°, but the point of the exercise is to get the student to use ALL the given information instead of presuming right angles.

And NO, assuming all the lines are straight is NOT unreasonable, it is the only way that the problem could ever possibly have a solution.

The sum of the angles of a triangle are always 180°

Unless there are lines that are not straight in the image (which would make the calculation of x literally impossible), the third angle of the triangle in the left has to be 80°, making the angle to its right to be 100°, making the angle above it to be 45°, making the angle above it to be 135°. This is basic trigonometry.

F*ck you very much for that earworm dude

I just found out that I am actually from Iowa ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All lies!

People called Romanes, they go the house?

Well, The show must go on…

Now that’s funny

“It just requires the centrists to side with the left.”

Maybe modern-day Girondins still have some qualms regarding making alliances with the left. Nobody wants to be the new Danton

Or stop flushing fucking toilet paper down the toilet.

Ah, there it is.

I hope everyone who doesn’t vote for Biden gets drafted next year.

The American revolution might be the exception that confirms the rule, since the new regime (Congress and the President) seem to have not persecuted, legally or extra legally, any Americans or their allies who fought against Britain after the war was won. I at least could not find any examples of this. Benedict Arnold doesn’t count since he did, beyond any doubt, commit treason against the revolution and rightfully was persecuted for his actions.

Cromwell’s station in the revolution of Parliament against king Charles was very minor during the first half of the civil war. But he rose to prominence and thereafter many of his former allies were persecuted (with the exception of lord Thomas Fairfax).

Castro persecuted many of his former allies after Batista was ousted from Cuba, including Manuel Urrutia Lleó and Huber Matos Benítez (and also maybe Camilo Cienfuegos Gorriarán, since his accident happened during a very convenient moment)…

Stalin. REALLY??? He had Trotsky killed two continents away and more communist party members died because of him than because of the Tzar!

As all revolutions always do

Or write financial advice books.

Whoosh

“- Setting the clock and a timer to record something on your VCR”

You just awakened a sad memory from 30 years ago… I wanted to record a movie I saw in the TV programme magazine but it started after midnight and I should have used the next day’s date :-(
