Can a triangle have all angles less than 60°? Give reason for your answer. |

Answer» No. A triangle cannot have two obtuse angles Justification: According to angle sum property, We know that the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle should be = 180°. An obtuse angle is one whose value is greater than 90° but less than 180°. Considering two angles to be equal to the lowest natural number greater than 90°, i.e., 91°. According to the question, If the triangle has two obtuse angles, then there are two angles which are at least 91° each. On adding these two angles, Sum of the two angles = 91° + 91° ⇒ Sum of the two angles = 182° The sum of these two angles already exceeds the sum of three angles of the triangle, even without considering the third angle. Therefore, a triangle cannot have two obtuse angles. |
