Can a triangle have:
(i) Two right angles?
(ii) Two obtuse angles?
(iii) Two acute angles?
(iv) All angles more than 60°?
(v) All angles less than 60°?
(vi) All angles equal to 60°?
Justify your answer in each case.
(i) No, Two right angles would up to 180°. So the third angle becomes zero. This is not possible, so a triangle cannot have two right angles. [Since sum of angles in a triangle is 180°]
(ii) No, A triangle can't have 2 obtuse angles. Obtuse angle means more than 90° So that the sum of the two sides will exceed 180° which is not possible. As the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°.
(iii) Yes, A triangle can have 2 acute angles. Acute angle means less the 90° angle.
(iv) No, Having angles more than 60° make that sum more than 180°. This is not possible. [Since the sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is 180°]
(v) No, Having all angles less than 60° will make that sum less than 180° which is not possible.[Therefore, the sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is 180°]
(vi) Yes, A triangle can have three angles equal to 60°. Then the sum of three angles equal to the 180°. Such triangles are called as equilateral triangle. [Since, the sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is180°]
