Algebra.Com's Answer #135048 by Fombitz(32388) You can put this solution on YOUR website! No. \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the 3 angles of a triangle equals 180. \n" ); document.write( "1. \n" ); document.write( "If two angles (A,B) are greater than 90, then their sum would be greater than 180. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "where \n" ); document.write( "Then substituting into eq. 1, \n" ); document.write( " 1. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "We've shown that the remaining angle (C) would need to be negative to make the sum equal 180. \n" ); document.write( "That's not possible, therefore two obtuse angles would not be allowed in a triangle. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
