Answer
We know that the total of the measures of the angles in a triangle must equal 180°, so if the angles do not add up to 180°, then the three angles cannot form a triangle.
Let's add 37°, 58°, and 86° together to see:
$$37° + 58° + 86°$$
Let's add the first two angles together:
$$95° + 86°$$
Now add this total to 86° to the sum of the first two angles:
$$95° + 86° = 181°$$
The sum of these angles is equal to 181°, which we cannot have because the sum of a triangle's angles cannot be any more or any less than 180°.
Therefore, this statement does not make sense.
