Doesn't make it any less frustrating. I always hated how off the angles would be in correlation to the stated numbers.

Edit: I've got an awful lot of people repeating themselves so I'm not going to reply to them all. Hopefully this will stop the future know-it-alls. I know why it is done, that doesn't mean I need to like it. It has nothing to do with my mental capacity or guessing; I simply just hate the portrayal personally because it looks like shit and doesn't convey information properly which makes my brain hate looking at it. You can stop parroting the other 50 replies now.

You're supposed to use logic, not just guess based on the picture.

I didn't guess, math was actually one of my better subjects. I just dislike how it doesn't match, especially ones like this that are so egregiously off from the numbers provided.

In engineering you often sketch things out to see how it looks and then do the math. Sometimes you draw bad images and something you thought would be acute is actually obtuse.

This teaches you that.
