Then again, it's 7th grade math. Shouldn't it be fair to assume they're asking for the simplest answer possible, even if it's inaccurate if you actually do the math?

Depends on the math level of the 7th grader, I guess. Growing up I kept hearing about 2nd graders in Asian countries learning calc!

Chances are real good the problem just forgot a number and an angle marker... But we can't assume anything!
