    Assumptions:

    • The bottom right corner of the angle is the origin, putting the majority of the arc in quadrant II.
    • 0 degrees starts on the positive x-axis to right.
    • Counterclockwise is a positive angle.
    • All degrees are relative to the edges of the picture.

    The side nearest to the positive y-axis is at ~92.38°

    The side nearest to the negative x-axis is at ~180.32°

    The angle or the arc is ~87.94°

    An actual 89° arc, I do appreciate. An 88° arc labelled as an 89°, I do not. I ardently hope you gain more skill in measuring angles, and have less malice that causes you to wish your misery on others.

          I mean, you could find out… unless you’d rather rely on internetizens to tell you the truth.

          There are plenty of free online image protractors available. You could even print out a paper protractor and hold it up to your screen.

          Being willing to try to answer your own questions, and then succeeding is one of the most rewarding feelings. Take a walk on the wild side, and give in to your curiosity.

      I mean there’s no reason that a perfectionist would be irritated by an 89 degree angle, so I suspect this meme has had its way with you just as intended

      This is the point… The meme works on 2 levels.

      Lay people will assume because the angle isn’t 90, that it will annoy perfectionists. But this is false.

      It does still annoy perfectionists, but for the reasons you describe, not the reasons lay people assume.

      This makes the meme funnier.
