The question in the image asks:

**"One of the angles in a scalene triangle is 72°. What could the other two angles be?"**

### Solution:

1. In any triangle, the sum of all angles is always 180°.
   
2. Let the other two angles be \(x\) and \(y\). According to the given information:
   \[
   72^\circ + x + y = 180^\circ
   \]

3. Simplify the equation:
   \[
   x + y = 180^\circ - 72^\circ = 108^\circ
   \]

4. Since it's a scalene triangle (no equal angles), \(x\) and \(y\) must be different. Possible pairs that add up to 108° could be:
   - \( x = 50^\circ \), \( y = 58^\circ \)
   - \( x = 40^\circ \), \( y = 68^\circ \)
   - \( x = 30^\circ \), \( y = 78^\circ \)
   
   And other combinations that satisfy \(x + y = 108^\circ\).

5. What makes an angle obtuse, acute, or right in a triangle?

**Tip:** In scalene triangles, no sides or angles are the same, which helps in identifying different pairs of angles based on given conditions.
