How many right angles in a shape?

Depends on the shape. A right triangle has one right angle, a rectangle has 4, an equilateral triangle has none, a circle has no angles. There are polygons with more than 4 right angles, and there is no limit on how many, but those with more than 4 are not convex.


Can a triangle with a right angle in it have another right angle in it?

No, if there was more than one right angle, it would be physically impossible for the shape to be a triangle. It would have to be a square or rectangle. Remember, all the angles in a triangle add up to 180* and two right angles alone add to 180*, therefore making it impossible for the shape to be a triangle
