Yep, two people so far has answered correctly. When you draw a triangle on a spherical surface (like the Earth) the sum of it's angles is always larger than 180. You can test this yourself. Take some ball and draw a big triangle on it's surface. Then measure the angles and sum them up. You will see it.

Bermuda traingle is a mysterious place in the middle of an ocean.. For any triangle the sum of its angles is 180 degrees.. whatever shape the traingle may look like..

180 would be the obvious answer, but the Bermuda Triangle is a special case. Its approximately 75 degrees
look it up

People, for your information,
the sum of the internal angles of any triangle ON a PLANE is 180, but on a curved surface, such as the earth´s surface (roughly, but not quite a sphere), the statement does not hold.

the sum of angles for a triangle is always 180

since it's not on a flat piece of paper, but on a globe, you can't expect to get 180°... you will get something bigger than that. (the exact sum depends on the location of the 3 points of your bermuda triangle... and I honestly confess I don't know where they are precisely. So, I can't do the maths.)

u know what, that is the stupidest thing to ask, as the name specifies, that it is a triangle, the sum of the angles will be always equal to 180 degs, no matter where u have that triangle.

More than 180 degrees since the traingle is on earth which is a sphere.
