Is it possible for a triangle to have a 54 degree angle and a 126 degree angle? Explain why or why not.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, because the 3 angles of a triangle have to add up to 180 degrees. The given 2 angles already add up to 180 degrees leaving no room for the missing angle.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Those are only 2 angles and they already equal 180, Every single triangle has a sum of 180 and if you already hit 180 with only 2 out of the 3 points, it's not possible
