No, because a triangle must have an obtuse angle.

Yes, because it would be a right triangle.

Answer 1

No, a triangle cannot have two right angles. The reason is that the sum of the angles in any triangle must equal 180 degrees. If a triangle had two right angles (90 degrees each), that would sum to 180 degrees, leaving no degrees for a third angle, which is necessary for a triangle. Therefore, the correct response is:

No, because there needs to be a third angle.
