Harper Rasmussen · Answer 1

No it can't. all three of a triangles angles have to add up to 180 degrees. The definition of an obtuse angle is that it must be more than 90 degrees, so to have a triangle with 2 angles that are even the smallest obtuse angles is not possible because you would be over the limit of 180 degrees before you added in the third angle.

No, it can't.

Obtuse angles are angles that are greater than 90 degrees.

A triangle has to have all 3 of its angles add up to 180 degrees.

If two of the angles are more than 90 degrees and 90 + 90 = 180, it's impossible to have a third angle that adds up to 180.
