D? @Mehek14 @dtan5457 @acxbox22

mehek14 · Answer

add them up

mehek14 · Answer

if they're >180 or 180< , they can't be triangles

ybarrap · Answer

All triangles have angles that add to 180. If you have three angles how many other ways can you create a triangle with 180 degrees with these three?

winsteria · Answer

I don't know

winsteria · Answer

Is it D though? @ybarrap

ybarrap · Answer

35+62+83=180

This is one triangle. Can you make another with these three angles?

winsteria · Answer

So 1? @ybarrap

ybarrap · Answer

3 angles adding up to 180 means one solution, one triangle.

ybarrap · Answer

If you had 35+63+$x$=180

You would still have only one triangle possible, because the only thing $x$ can be is 83 to produce as a sum of 180.
