The correct response is:
No, because there needs to be a third angle.
In a triangle, the sum of the interior angles must equal 180 degrees. If a triangle had two right angles, that would be 90 + 90 = 180 degrees, leaving no degrees for the third angle, which is not possible. Therefore, a triangle cannot have two right angles.
