    the answers here assume that the base is a continuous, straight line

    given one of the angles on the left triangle is a right angle on the diagram, but 80 if you calculate it, you can’t assume that

      This is a standard way to draw geometric proofs, it’s not at all unreasonable to assume straight lines and unrepresentative angles.
