Question

Can a triangle have two right angles, and why or why not?(1 point)

Responses

No, because there needs to be a third angle.
No, because there needs to be a third angle.

Yes, because 90 + 90 = 180.
Yes, because 90 plus 90 equals 180 .

Yes, because it would be a right triangle.
Yes, because it would be a right triangle.

No, because a triangle must have an obtuse angle.
No, because a triangle must have an obtuse angle.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

No, a triangle cannot have two right angles, because the sum of the three interior angles of a triangle must always be 180 degrees. If two angles are already 90 degrees each, then the third angle would have to be 0 degrees in order for the sum to be 180 degrees. This would result in a degenerate triangle, which is not a valid triangle.

Answer 2

so the answer would be no because there needs to be a third angle

or no because a triangle must have an obtuse angle?

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The most accurate response would be: No, a triangle cannot have two right angles because the sum of the three interior angles of a triangle must always be 180 degrees, and having two right angles would not leave room for a third angle. So, the answer would be no because there needs to be a third angle. Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy, and I appreciate your attention to detail.
