A right angle is 90 degrees, not 45.

As three 90 degree angles would be a 270 degree triangle, it is mathematically impossible.

See what happens when I try to think at Midnight? I break both my own brain, and the brains of the people around me *lol*

--- Sorry. So, in what situation could you have a triangle made up of 3 x 90degree angles?

[Lady's Human]

Assuming that you are referring to a closed polygon made up of three intersecting sides on a flat plane, you can't.

Ahh... but I never indicated flat plane did I?

Since math likely isn't my strong point, and I shouldn't try to me SMRT with math-like problems (and I more than likely fudged up what i was trying to say before) heres a couple more to try -- a Mystery and a Puzzle

Mystery #1: A man marries twenty women in his village but isn't charged with polygamy.

Mystery #2: A man rides into town on Friday. He stays three nights and leaves on Friday.

Puzzle #1: Connect all 9 dots, using only 4 straight lines.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

1. He is the vicar
2. Friday is the name of his horse and I gave up after that
