Triangle Angle Problem: Can 90, 115, and 35 Degrees Form a Triangle?

Question

Angle A equals 90°.
Angle B equals 115°.
Angle C equals 35°.

Can these angles form a triangle?

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Can these angles form a triangle?
00:03 The sum of angles in a triangle equals 180
00:07 We want to check if our sum of angles equals 180
00:12 Let's substitute appropriate values and solve
00:23 The sum of angles is greater than 180 therefore cannot form a triangle
00:27 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

We add the three angles to see if they are equal to 180 degrees:

90+115+35=240 90+115+35=240
The sum of the given angles is not equal to 180, so they cannot form a triangle.

Answer

No.
