Understand the problem

Three angles measure as follows: 60°, 50°, and 70°.

Is it possible that these are angles in a triangle?

2

Step-by-step solution

Recall that the sum of angles in a triangle equals 180 degrees.

Let's add the three angles to see if their sum equals 180:

60+50+70=180 60+50+70=180

Therefore, it is possible that these are the values of angles in some triangle.
