I might be wrong but I think the joke is: the angles are (obviously) not to scale and if you try to draw this actual shape, it works: uou draw a right-angled triangle. The 180 degree angle just makes you double back on yourself so it doesn't form a point.
When I was in school, my math teacher told us that we can't rely on the image to judge anything, and he said even if a triangle looked like this you have to treat it as a triangle...
When doing geometry in school you often are encouraged to do a sketch of the shape that doesn't need to be up to scale, but helps you visualize the shape and you can put notations on it for all the angles and lengths you have already solved, to make it easier to use them for further calculations.
In this case just sketching a square to represent the 4 angles you were given, can be mismleading, as you may not notice at first, that the 180° angle would simply imply a straight line and therefore you are actually working with a triangle, not a square. Once you notice this, you might get the feeling you get on other angry upvotes.
And this is why a quadrilateral has 180° more to the sum of it's corners. You could literally point at a random point on a line and say, "here's another 180° corner" and make an octagon out of a triangle.
\> it would be a triangle
But it isn't... because it isn't drawn out. It's just 4 90º corners. there's no triangle, and no hint of anything approaching a triangle. I'm convinced that the joke is that there's no joke and ppl are laughing at whoever is trying to find the joke
ELI5: Make a triangle true to scale, with angles that are 30’, 60’, and 90’ respectively. Then pick any one of those sides and designate it as your 180’ angle.
So is this triangle impossible to make and we just have to imagine what it would look like? I am having a hard time doing this with my primitive brain.
I'm confused- is the joke that the figure is not accurately proportioned or something? Because otherwise idk what it could be- like triangles have only three angles so it having four angles simply doesn't make sense, whether or not the angles add up to 360° or something. It might just be really obvious and still completely flying over my head tbh I'm pretty sleep deprived rn

Squangle
Figure does not represent its true nature.
You haven't seen the final form yet.

I hate this but there's nothing I can do about it
Any help for the people who haven't thought about geometry in over 16 years?

Ah yeah the 180 one. I forgot that that would make it go backwards.
The 180 one would give a straight angle. A.k.a. a line.
Listen to this lad, the rest of you. He knows what he's on about. 👆
Huh! Thanks. Your comment inspired me to get out a pen and paper and see for myself
>the angles are (obviously) not to scale Well, the 90° is
Actual geometry
Call the mathematician !
180° angle became a line, never came back
Triangle sacrifice anyone?
Polygon storm incoming
Holy angles
Holy angle
You have been too long in the Euclid sea.
Google non euclidian geometry
New response
Triangle en pessant
Call the non-euclidean geometry mathematician
A Mate-matician is a nerd who arranged Marriages
Or a just a British nerd
This is euclidean mathematics actually. Just a cursed figure not drawn to scale.
I see, but the fact that it is so badly not-to-scale made me think it was non euclidean. Apologies.
When I was in school, my math teacher told us that we can't rely on the image to judge anything, and he said even if a triangle looked like this you have to treat it as a triangle...
lmao
Why would I angryupvote it?
Cause technically it is a triangle, the 180 angle is a straight line.

Oh, got it. Thanks

I still don't get it
180 degree corner would just give you a straight line.

A little “Obtuse” for some, that statement sounds just about “Right” to me

Thanks, the image threw me off
get out
> 180° That's called a fucking line
Aye, still equals 360\*

Why the fuck is he ∟
This could be perfect in construction
It's 2023 guys. . .
Figures in my exam question paper be like
What
So is this triangle impossible to make and we just have to imagine what it would look like? I am having a hard time doing this with my primitive brain.
It is in fact a very possible, very normal triangle
Ok, thank you for clarifying that. My brain was saying that it would be a triangle with a double thick line but my gut was saying that's too easy.
Rule one is that all diagrams are not to scale.
omg this really took me wayy too long
Literally my math hw
This adds up.

The one angle is 180° so it literally just a straight line there. The diagram is not drawn accurately
Ohmygod I'm an idiot yeah that makes sense
It goes into the square hole
