Answer:

Second option

Explanation:

One of the most common rules about triangles is that the sum of all three of their degrees add up to a total of 180 degrees.


180=a+b+c

60+60=120

120+40=160

160<180

The total sum of all three given angles only adds up to only 160 degrees not 180 like they're supposed to. Which means the following angles cannot construct a triangle and your answer is the second option or "none."

Hope this helps.
