Question
Which is true?
  1. A triangle can have two right angles.
  2. A triangle can have two obtuse angles.
  3. A triangle can have two acute angles.
  4. An exterior angle of a triangle is less than either of the interior opposite angles.

Answer

  1. A triangle can have two acute angles.

Solution:

We know that, by the angle sum property,

the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180° ...(i)

So, if two angles are right angles, then their sum is 180°.

So, the measure of the third angle is zero, which is not possible.

Thus, (a) is not true.
