How many different triangles can you make if you are given these three measurements for angles: 25°, 120°, and 350°?

Final answer:

With angle measurements of 25°, 120°, and 350°, you cannot form any triangles because the sum of these angles exceeds the necessary 180 degrees, which is the total for a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is based on the fundamental properties of triangles. Specifically, the sum of the angles in any triangle always adds up to 180 degrees.

Given the measurements for angles: 25°, 120°, and 350°, one should immediately notice that the sum of these angles exceeds 180 degrees. In fact, the sum is 495°, which is far beyond the total angle sum for a triangle. Therefore, with these measurements, you cannot form a triangle. It is not possible to create a triangle from angles that do not sum up to 180°.
