We are given the angles 50, 40, and 90. To determine if these angles form a triangle we need to add them all together and if the answer is 180, then they do form a triangle:


50+40+90=90+90=180

Therefore, these angles form a triangle. This triangle is not unique since all the triangles with these angles form a set of similar triangles.
