Choose the correct statement
A. a triangle has two right angles

D. all the angles of a triangle are less than 60°
Answers
Answer:
(C)an exterior angle of a triangle is always greater than the opposite interior angles
Answer:
an exterior angle of a triangle is always greater than the opposite interior angles
Step-by-step explanation:
A - a triangle can not have two right angles
as Triangle has three angles whose sum = 180°
if there are two right angles then third angle will be zero
90° + 90° + 0° = 180° which is not possible
B - all the angles of a triangle can not be more than 60°
=> if all angles are more than 60° then sum will be greater than 180°
which is not possible
C - an exterior angle of a triangle is always greater than the opposite interior angles
Exterior angle = Sum of opposite interior angles
=> Exterior Angle > opposite interior angles
Hence this is correct Statement
D. all the angles of a triangle can not be less than 60°
=> if all angles are less than 60° then sum will be less than 180°
which is not possible
