Final answer:

The given statements about the angles in triangle RGB are generally incorrect for a traditional triangle; the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, which conflicts with options stating all angles are obtuse, right, or straight angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is true about the angles in triangle RGB depends on what is known about this specific triangle. In this case, no specific information about triangle RGB is provided. However, based on general knowledge about triangles:

1) The angles in a triangle are all acute angles if each angle is less than 90 degrees.
2) The angles in a triangle are all obtuse angles if one angle is greater than 90 degrees, and the others are acute (which is not possible for all three to be obtuse because the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees).
3) The angles in a triangle are all right angles only if it is a special case where the triangle is degenerate (this is theoretically a triangle but practically a straight line), which is not typical.
4) The angles in a triangle are all straight angles is again not possible for a traditional triangle because straight angles have 180 degrees each, and the sum of all angles in a traditional triangle must be 180 degrees.

Given that a triangle typically has angles that add up to 180 degrees, it is not possible for all angles to be right or straight angles. Therefore, typically, none of the given statements would be true for a traditional triangle.
