Is it possible to create a triangle that the interior angles do not add up to 180 degrees?

Notice when the sides of the angles are adjacent and the vertices meet at one point, they form a straight angle.

What is the measure of a straight angle?

Take Note

Triangle Sum Theorem: The sum of the angle measures of a triangle is 180 degrees.
