Ashlyn Kline · Answer 1

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

45 + 55 + 65 = 165

This does not equal 180 so the answer is no.

Lin · Answer 2

Every/Any triangle needs to sum up to 180 degrees. To figure out if our angles make a triangle, let's sum them up.

45 + 55 = 100.

100 + 65 = 165.

This does not equal 180, so no, it does not make a triangle.
