Do scalene triangles have three different angles?

Yes. A scalene triangle is, by definition, a triangle with all sides and angles different. An equilateral triangle has all sides and angles the same, an isosceles triangle has 2 sides and 2 angles equal, and a right triangle has a right angle, but it is also possible for an isosceles triangle to be a right triangle.


Is it possible to make a triangle with 2 right angles?

No you cannot make a triangle with two right angles. In all triangles the sum of the angles is always 180°. Also all triangles have three angles. If there are two right angles, you already have 180° and cannot have another angle to complete the triangle.


Is it possible for a right triangle to have two right angles why or why not?

No because the 3 angles in right angle triangle add up to 180 degrees and so 2 right angles plus another angle would be over 180 degrees.


How many equal angles can a right triangle have?

A right triangle can have 2 equal angles if they are each 45° (any other right triangle will have no equal angles)
