Use a ruler and a protractor to determine

whether or not it is possible to draw a
triangle with a 75° angle, a 115° angle, and a
side of 4 inches between the two angles. If
so, draw the triangle. If not, explain why.

Answer:

It is not possible.

Explanation:

The triangle is impossible to create because of the Triangle Angle Sum Therom, which states that all 3 angles in a triangle must = 180 degrees. As they haven given us 75 degrees, and 115 degrees 75+115=190 Which is more then 180, Hence it is not possible.
