Answer:

[tex] \fbox{A triangle can have 2 acute angles.}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Acute angle : The angle whose measure is less than 90° is called actute angle.

Obtuse angle : The angle whose measure is more than 90° is called obtuse angle.

Right angle : The angle whose measure is exact 90° is called right angle.

Property of triangle: The measure of all three angles of a triangle is 180°.

let's solve the actual question now,

Option A - let a triangle have two acute angle x and y respectively and z third angle of the respective triangle,

x + y + z = 180°

(<90°) + (<90°) + z = 180°

z = 180 - (<180)

z <180

the measure of 3rd angle z will be less than 180,

hence a triangle can have 2 acute angles.

Option B - let a right angle triangle have two right angles x and y respectively and z third angle of the respective triangle,

x+y+z = 180

90+90+z = 180

z = 180-180 = 0°

which means the third angle z does not exist and it is not a triangle. Hence a right angle triangle can only have one right angle.

Option C - let a triangle have two obtuse angle x and y respectively and z third angle of the respective triangle,

x + y + z = 180°

(>90°) + (>90°) + z = 180°

z = 180 - (>180)

when one number is subtracted from another number which is greater than that then the result obtain is negative. So the value of third angle z will be negative which is a flaw. Hence third option is also incorrect.

Option D - let a triangle have one right angle and one obtuse angle x and y respectively and z third angle of the respective triangle,

x + y + z = 180°

(90°) + (>90°) + z = 180°

z = 180 - (>180)

Same as option C, the third angle is negative which is a flaw and this option is incorrect too.

Conclusion- A triangle can have 2 acute angles and one right angle. So option A is the correct match.
