Answer:

False. It is not possible for a triangle to have two right angles.

Explanation:

Every triangle has 3 sides and, therefore, 3 angles (hence its name "tri" (three) "angle" (angles). Always, the sum of the three angles of a triangle will have a value of 180º. Therefore If two of the angles of a triangle were right, that is, they measured 90º, the third angle would be 0º, that is, it would be non-existent.Therefore, it is impossible for two angles of a triangle to be right angles.
