The definition of a triangle is that it has three angles and their sum is 180 degrees. Two right angles each measure 90 degrees and their sun is 180 degrees. Therefore, a triangle cannot have two right angles because that would be two angles with a sum of 180 degrees, not three as required by the definition of a triangle.
