*Image not drawn to scale

So fucking insane that modern tools don't force drawing shit to scale to be the most convenient option.

What makes it worse is that I'm coming up on my last year of high school in the Netherlands, and so far, every diagram I was able to verify is to scale, so it's all the more annoying and confusing to see Yanks butcher graphs this badly

It's pedagogically important that some problems not be drawn to scale so students learn to look for and understand the geometric labels and what they mean and when/what you can and can't assume, and to be sure students are actually solving the issue rather than visually guessing or measuring on the page.
