    If it was to scale you could just use a protractor and skip the whole math part, which is the entire part of the lesson…

      Then they could use decimals so it’s unlikely to get it right without calculating, 60.17°, 40.29°, 35.43°

      And what’s wrong with that. Utilizing real world solutions to problems is a life skill. Not some obscure formula that you will forget anyway.

          You are being obtuse. You know what I mean by obscure.

            Its intended to focus on a specific skill, the other skill can be valid and not be the point of the lesson.

      I don’t see that as a downside as long as these two questions are also included.

      How many degrees make up the inner angles of a triangle?

      How many degrees make up one side of a straight line?

        Big assumption that the bottom line is straight / not two lines connecting at a different angle
