Question

Determine if the measurements below will create a triangle. Then, explain your thinking.

55°, 80°, 55°

Answer 1

No, the measurements given cannot be used to create a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the angles of a triangle should be 180°.

Here,

55°+80°+55°=190°

which is not equal to 180°.

So, the traingle cannot be formed using the given measurements.
