Answer:

D. 93°, 29°, 58°

Explanation:

In a triangle we can only have 3 Interior angles.

The sum of the Interior angles in a triangle = 180°

Adding up the given Interior angles in the above question:

A. 15°, 48°, 27°

= 15° + 48° + 27°

= 90°

90° ≠ 180°

Option A is wrong

B. 56°, 45°, 46°

= 56 ° + 45° + 46°

= 147°

147° ≠ 180°

Option B is wrong

C. 42°, 84°, 64°

= 42° + 84° + 64°

= 190°

= 190° ≠ 180°

Option C is wrong.

D. 93°, 29°, 58°

93° + 29° + 58°

= 180°

180° = 180°

Option D is the correct Option.

Therefore, the set of angle measures that could be the interior angles of a triangle is Option D. 93°, 29°, 58°
