If referring to the pixelated version of the shape, then 2. If the symbolic version, then none because it will never be a right angle at the infinitesimal scale.

PEMDAS vs BODMAS
Step 1: Parentheses
Step 2: Exponents
Step 3: Multiply
Step 4: Divide
Step 5: Add
Step 6: Subtract
As for the half circle question, I would agree, but I suspect a mathematician having gone through non-Euclidean geometry would also have interesting answer. There might be a way to express an answer using limits but I haven't quite nailed it.
Poorly written equation for precisely the reason that causes the confusion.If referring to the pixelated version of the shape, then 2. If the symbolic version, then none because it will never be a right angle at the infinitesimal scale.

6Simple equation? Let's see if you can get it right;
50 + 50 - 25 x 0 + 2 + 4 =
Nope!

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!
Not especially but your thread about Latex coïncides with people at work talking about it and me realizing that learning it again could be useful (for work).
Agreed. By stating an answer of 2 the assumption is being made that the curved portion of the figure is intersecting the line at a right angle, but that could be a false assumption. The curved portion of the figure could be intersecting at an angle of 89.99 degrees with the line, which would look like but not be a right angle and the answer would be zero. Precision, in description and measurement, matters.THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER
