Answer:

The number have to add up to 180 so

The measures of the interior angles of a triangle are 59°, 31°, and 90°.

The measures of the interior angles of a triangle are 90°, 40°, and 50°.

And

The measures of the interior angles of a triangle are 82°,38°, and 60°.

Are the answers

The sum of interior angles of a triangle is always* 180°, so the following triangles are possible:

  • 90°, 40°, 50°
  • 82°, 38°, 60°
  • 59°, 31°, 90°

_____

The following are not possible triangles.

  • 65°, 25°, 75° — add to 165° ≠ 180°
  • 57°, 70°, 33° — add to 160° ≠ 180°

_____

* in plane Euclidean geometry. There are other topologies such that the sum of angles of a triangle differs from 180°.
