no because 3 right angles would give 270 degrees total. Triangle can only have 180 degrees. What you speak of is a square/rectangle with one of the sides missing.

The sum of the angles must always be 180°. Here's how it goes: x = 180 / (2 + 3 + 4) x = 180 / 9 x = 20 Hence: 2x = 2 x 20 = 40° 3x = 3 x 20 = 60° 4x = 4 x 20 = 80° Difference: = 80 - 40 = 40° (Answer) The difference between the largest and smallest angle is 40° Hope this helps, and have a good day.

No. The angles of a triangle must sum to 180 degrees, and 3 right angles would make 270. In fact, a triangle can't even have 2 right angles, let alone 3, because all angles must have at least some measure.

No, because the total of the 3 angles in a triangle cannot exceed 180 degrees and (3) 90 degree angles would total 270 degrees. Therefore you cannot have a triangle with 3 right angles

No
By definition, a Triangle can not have 3 right angles.
A right angle is 90 degrees. 3 right angles would = 270 degrees
The sum of all three inside angles of a triangle can not equal more or less than 180 degrees
The only time that a triangle will have 3 equal angles is with an equallateral triangle - and in that case, each of the angles is 60 degrees

No. the angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. 3 90 degree angles add up to 270 degrees. In fact you can't even have 2 right angles because 2*90=180 degrees & there can't be a 3rd angle. Triangles need 3 angles.

no it cant. the most it can have is one because it would be a right triangle. if it had more than 1 it would have to have 4 sides. a triangle can only have 3 sides.so you have the right angle in the bottom left. and draw a line strait up. then you have to draw a line from the right triangle horizontal and there has to be a line from the top of the vertical line to the end of the horizontal line. That's the only way is can have 1 right triangle. a triangle cant even have 2 right angles.

no, because a triangle can only have a total of 180 degress if you add up all three angles. 3 right angles are 270 degrees. If it had three right angles it would simply be a 3/4's of a square

no, the triangle can have 180 degrees, 3 right angles would make it 270 degrees which is impossible to be a triangle

Yes but only on a curved surface. On a flat surface the three angles total 180 degrees so it is not possible but on a curved surface you can have triangles with more or less than 180 degrees so a triangle with three right angles is possible.
