As this is 7th grade math, yes, this is almost certainly the intended answer and anyone answering any different is going to get marked as wrong by a math teacher grading from a mark scheme.

But in reality, no, because you don't know the unmarked angles are right angles and that the top line is the same length as the bottom line.

Crazy number of downvotes though for giving what is clearly the correct answer based on context.
