SOLUTION
Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: Define scalene triangle
A Scalene Triangle is any triangle with unequal sides. This means that, in a scalene triangle, all of the three sides and angles are different lengths, just like in the illustration below. This also means that each angle has to be different.
STEP 2: Get the greatest sum possible of the two smallest angles
Since the measures of the angles of the triangle are different whole numbers , for the sum of the two angles to be the least possible, one of the angles must be smallest whole number i.e 1°
Now, the next smallest angle will be the next angle of a whole number that is not 1 degree, i.e, 2 degrees.
Thus, the greatest possible sum of the measures of two smallest angles will be:
Hence, the greatest sum possible of the two smallest angles is 3 degrees
