We are given three angles and we are asked to determine if the angles are the angles of a triangle. To do that we need to have into account that the measure of the angles of a triangle always adds up to 180, therefore, if we add up the angles and the result is 180, then these angles can be angles measures of a triangle. If the result is different from 180 the angles can't be the angle measures of a triangle. Taking the first set of three angles we get:


58+34+42=134

Since the result is different from 180 then these angles can't be the angle measure of a triangle.

The same procedure is used to determine the other sets of angles.
