anonymous · Answer

recent favourite, find the conjugate of the complex number whose real part is $2$ and whose imaginary part is $-5i$
who makes this stuff up?

anonymous · Answer

yeah, and then we wonder why a student can't draw a decent triangle to solve

experimentx · Answer

books never mind the questions. when i was doing geometry in school ... they never scaled up the picture. as result i doubted everything i did.

zarkon · Answer

...yes, but here they are given the angles.  Some care should be given to make the triangle look correct.  Otherwise, in addition to possibly confusing a student who is clearly not in a modern geometry class, the question maker just looks dumb.
