How many triangles can be drawn having its angles as 45°, 64° and 72°? Give reason for your answer.


It is given that the triangle has its angles as 45°, 64°, and 72°.


On adding these, we get


Sum of three angles = 45° + 64° + 72°


Sum of three angles = 181°


According to linear pair of axiom, the sum of three angles of the triangle should be equal to 180°.


Since, the sum of the given angles exceeds 180°, no such triangle exists with its angles as 45°, 64°, and 72°.
