In normal (Euclidean) geometry, no. However, there are some cases where a triangle can be drawn which does have two right angles.

Imagine drawing a great triangle on the earth between three points. The first point is on the equator in Brazil, the second point is at the north pole, and the third point is on the equator in Africa. The two angles drawn from the equator to the north pole are both 90 degrees.

This is because the surface of a sphere is not flat, but curved, and it allows the angles of triangles to add up to almost 360 degrees. We call this non-euclidean geometry.

Does a triangle have two right angels?

A triangle cannot have two right angles. Triangles angles should add up to 180. There are three angles. If there are 2 right angles, there would be no third angle, therefore, no triangle. XD

Can a right triangle have two angels that measure 38 and 54?

No. Why? Well, a right angled triangle consists of a right angle and two other angles and the total of all the angles in the triangle is always 180.180-90=90 therefore the other two angles must add up to 90 degrees.54+38=92 so a right angled triangle cannot have those two angles.
