|dw:1392838770766:dw| All angles must sum to 180 Angle 1+Angle 2+Angle 3=180 By definition, Angle 3>90 so plug in 90 (lowest possible bound for angle 3) into equation: Angle 1+Angle 2+ 90=180 Subtract 90 from both sides Angle 1+Angle 2=90 Since Angle 1 and Angle 2 are greater than zero, neither one can be greater than 90 because their sum has to be, at the most, 90.
