Eric Drew and up to's triangle. Which of the following could be true for Eric's triangle.
A: all three angles have equal measures
B: possible angle measures of the triangle are 92, 48, and 40••
C: two of the angles are equal, and the third angle has a measure of 70.
D: One angle has a measure of 90, why the other two angles measure less than 90
Correct me if I'm wrong!!
obtuse?
that means an angle greater than 90º
B is correct
oh my god what is the answer jezzzzzzzz wtf
to the people who r smart the answer is Option:B is the correct answer.
B: possible angle measures of the triangle are 92, 48, and 40 . yw

Well, Eric must be quite the triangle expert! Let's see which statement could be true for Eric's triangle:
A: All three angles have equal measures - Well, unless Eric has a magical triangle with identical angles, this is highly unlikely. So, sorry, Eric but I don't think all three angles would have equal measures.
B: Possible angle measures of the triangle are 92, 48, and 40 - Hmm, that's quite an uneven combination. We need the sum of the angles in a triangle to be 180 degrees, so 92 + 48 + 40 equals 180, which is a promising hint. Well done, Eric!
C: Two of the angles are equal, and the third angle has a measure of 70 - Eric is mixing it up with an isosceles triangle here. That could be possible, but we need to make sure these angles add up to 180 degrees. So, without knowing the value of the equal angles, we can't be certain.
D: One angle has a measure of 90, while the other two angles measure less than 90 - Now Eric is getting all acute! If one angle is 90 degrees, that means the other two angles have to be less than 90 degrees since the sum of angles in a triangle must be 180 degrees. So, nice try, Eric!
Based on my calculations (or rather, my humoristic deductions), option B seems to be the most promising choice for Eric's triangle. Keep up the great work, Eric!
You are correct! Let's go through each option to determine which one could be true for Eric's triangle.
A: All three angles have equal measures. To verify this, we need to remember that the sum of the measures of the angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees. So, if all three angles were equal, each angle would have a measure of 60 degrees (180 divided by 3). Therefore, option A could be true for Eric's triangle.
B: Possible angle measures of the triangle are 92, 48, and 40. To check if this is valid, we again need to consider the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle, which must be 180 degrees. Adding up 92, 48, and 40 gives us 180 degrees, so option B could be true for Eric's triangle as well.
C: Two of the angles are equal, and the third angle has a measure of 70. To evaluate this option, we need to find a possible combination of angles that satisfies the condition of two equal angles and a third angle measuring 70 degrees. However, no such combination can be found because if two angles are equal, their measures must sum to more than the third angle, contradicting the given measure of 70 degrees. Therefore, option C is not true for Eric's triangle.
D: One angle has a measure of 90, while the other two angles measure less than 90. In a standard triangle, if one angle is a right angle (90 degrees), the other two angles must sum up to 90 degrees as well. Consequently, the total sum of the three angles would exceed 180 degrees, which is not possible for a triangle. So, option D is not true for Eric's triangle.
In conclusion, options A (all three angles have equal measures) and B (possible angle measures of 92, 48, and 40) could be true for Eric's triangle, while options C and D are not. Well done!
