Yes it can.
Imagine a square with the corner cut off. The remaining shape is a pentagon with three right angles.

What shape has Five sides and one right angle?
Five side is always a pentagon, but there's no pentagon that always has exactly one right angle. A regular pentagon has no right angles. An irregular pentagon can have one, two, or three right angles, or none.
Does a pentagon have 5 right angles or 3?
Pentagons in normal (Euclidean) geometry can have at most three right angles, and the other two will be obtuse.However, in hyperbolic geometry, it is possible to construct a pentagon with 5 right angles, which is called a rectapentagon.
Is there a pentagon with a right angle?
Strictly speaking a pentagon is a plane figure with five straight sides and five angles, so yes, a pentagon can have one - or more - right angles. Imagine a rectangle with one of the corners cut off - that would have five sides and three right angles. .......... ............. ................ .................. .................. .................. ..................
What is the interior angle of a pentagon?
The measurement of an interior angle of a pentagon depends on whether the pentagon is a "regular pentagon". The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any polygon can be calculated using the formula (n-2)180, where n = the number of sides. If the pentagon is a regular pentagon, then all of the interior angles are congruent (i.e. : 144 degrees). Interior angle is the inside angle of any angular object. A triangle for instance has three outside angles and three interior angles, the angles of the points from the inside.
Can a triangle have three right angles?
A triangle can never have three right angles
How many right angles does it have in a pentagon?
A pentagon can have:none (regular or irregular pentagon)one, two or three right angles (irregular pentagon).
How many right angles in a pentagon?
A pentagon can have anywhere from none to three right angles. For a pentagon to have any right angles however, it has to be uneven, because the sum of all interior angles of a pentagon always equals 540 degrees.
What is a five sided shape with three right angles called?
a Pentagon is five sided and CAN have 3 right angles.

What is the measure of the first three angles in the pentagon?
That will vary, depending on the pentagon.
How to draw a pentagon that has three right angle?
draw four lines the make 3 right angles but don't connect at the end continue to finish the pentagon with whatever lines you want
A baseball diamond home plate has three right angles the other angles are congruent find their measure?
As the home plate has 5 angles it is a pentagon. The angles of a pentagon sum to (5 - 2) × 180° = 3 × 180° = 540° Three angles are right angles, and their sum is 3 × 90° = 270° This leaves 540° - 270° = 270° As the remaining two angles are congruent, they are each half of this at 270° ÷ 2 = 135° The remaining angles are 135° each.

What does a pentagon with three right angles look like?
Kind of like the outline of the Superman logo. Just fold in one corner of a square.
Explain why a right triangle does not have three right angles?
All triangles have 3 angles that add up to 180 degrees. 90+90+90 does not equal 180.
