It's a geometry puzzle. Of course they aren't going to get out a protractor to carefully get the 80° drawn to scale. The point of these puzzles isn't that we actually want to know what the angle is. The point is to navigate a maze of logic. (A very short maze in this particular case.)

Yes, and in this case, the puzzle was poorly presented and likely unsolvable.
