alleryCan a triangle have two right angles?
AYes, if the sides are equal
BYes, if the third angle is 0
CNo, a right angle needs a square
DNo, their sum would already be 180
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. No, their sum would already be 180
1. Two right angles add up to 90 + 90 = 180 degrees.
2. The angles of a triangle must add up to exactly 180 degrees.
3. That would leave 0 degrees for the third angle, which is impossible.
4. So a triangle cannot have two right angles.
