Two of the sides wouldn't join. So it would't be a triangle.

Answer

According to the Triangle Sum Theorem, a Triangle's three angles add up to 180o. It is impossible for there to be 2 out of 3 angles that add up to 180o, since the Triangle Sum Theorem says that all 3 angles must add up to 180o.

When all angle in a triangle measure axactly 90 degrees?

It cant be possible because a triangle only consists of 180 degree angles !! As 90 + 90 = 180 thus 2 or more than 2 angles in a triangle cant be right angles i.e. 90 degree :D

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.


A triangle with 2 equal sides and 2 right angles?
