Wait a minute, have I just been handed a fucking impossible

its a trick question! note that the shape is drawn perfectly over 8 rows, and x is precisely 4 rows long. So only the vertical measurement matters; x must be 1150!

Surely without knowing the angle of the line its impossible to calculate.

Most likely you forgot to copy down some essential details. Change your spectacles.

But the 270 and 1530 haven't been drawn in proportion, therefore to use the given image would be wrong since it has not been been drawn to scale.

the point i've marked with a red dot can be shifted up or down without changing any of the information given in the picture (all of those lengths are not effected by moving the endpoint of the line 'x'), so x can take on an infinite number of possible values whilst complying with the information in the picture. Hence you have not been given enough information to solve for x as a single value.

probably need to use some simultaneous equation using 2300 - X...
