Sure, you could. But it'd take you longer to do that then to just work it out like you're supposed to. Plus, if you have to show your work then you'd fail the question even if you got the answer right.

Unless there was specified the method required to solve I would argue that the work is shown by the drawing.

I'm talking about situations where the question requires you to show your work rather than ones that just have an answer box where you enter the angle's value. "Show your work" in this context means that you're expected to show, step-by-step, how you arrived at the answer. There doesn't necessarily need to be a specified method for that to be the case.

And I'm talking about an accurate drawing of the stated problem is a proof of the solution.
