Find the measure of the angle
It is known that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
Since we are given two angles, we can calculate
We should note that the sum of the two given angles is greater than 180 degrees.
Therefore, there is no solution possible.
There is no possibility of resolving
Determine the size of angle ABC?
DBC = 100°
Because that gives you -6°, which is impossible! Angles in a triangle must be positive and their sum must equal exactly 180°.
It means the given measurements cannot form a real triangle. In geometry, some problems have no solution when the given information violates mathematical rules.
Check if the sum of any two given angles exceeds 180°. If it does, no triangle can exist with those angle measurements.
Sometimes! But in this case, the problem is testing whether you recognize an impossible triangle. The correct answer is that no triangle can be formed.
Yes! In addition to angle sums exceeding 180°, triangles are impossible when:
