Is the measure of two right angles less than, equal to, or greater than the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

In order to answer this question, we need to recall two properties of angles: firstly, the properties of a right angle and, secondly, the properties of the interior angles of a triangle. We recall that a right angle is equal to 90 degrees. This means that the measure of two right angles will be equal to two multiplied by 90 degrees. This is equal to 180 degrees. We also recall that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. As these two angles are the same, the correct answer is equal to. The measure of two right angles is equal to the sum of the interior angles of a triangle.
