True , but remember there cannot be two obtuse. Must be one acute & one obtuse.

NOT always true. Both may be right angles.

How can a linear pair have one acute angle and one obtuse angle?

The two angles of a linear pair must add to 180 degrees. So if one is less than 90 degrees (acute) the other must be more than 90 degrees (obtuse).


Every pair of supplementary angles includes one obtuse angle?

Every pair of supplementary angles includes one obtuse angle?


In a linear pair of angles does one of the angles have to be obtuse?

Ordinarily, yes: one is acute (less than 90 degrees) and one is obtuse (more than 90 degrees), such that their sum is 180 degrees. The exception is if both angles are right angles (2 x 90 degrees).


Does a trapezoid have four obtuse angles?

No, a trapezoid does not have four obtuse angles. A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides and the other pair of non-parallel sides. The angles of a trapezoid can be a combination of acute, obtuse, and right angles, but it cannot have four obtuse angles.


Does a rhombus have acute and obtuse angles?

In general a rhombus has one opposite pair of congruent acute angles and one opposite pair of congruent obtuse angles. A square, however, is a rhombus with four right angles.


Can trapezoid have 2 obtuse angles.?

No, a trapezoid cannot have two obtuse angles. By definition, a trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. If it had two obtuse angles, it would imply that both pairs of opposite angles are obtuse, which is not possible as one pair of opposite angles must be acute in a trapezoid.


What kind of angles is formed by the rhombus?

One pair of equal acute angles and a pair of equal supplementary (obtuse) angles.


If one angle of a linear pair is obtuse than the other is?

acute


What does a trapezoid have besides 1 pair of parallel and 1 pair of nonparallels angles are acute or obtuse and parallel?

Angles are usually illustrated as two acute and two obtuse, but there can be two right, one acute and one obtuse. Angles cannot be parallel since that is a characteristic of lines, not angles!


What picture is have one pair of acute angles one pair of obtuse angles two parallel sides?

If the 2 acute angles are equal and the 2 obtuse angles are equal then it could be a 4 sided quadrilateral in the form of a parallelogram or a rhombus


Supplementary angles form a linear pair?

Not necessarily. A linear pair of angles must be supplementary but supplementary angles need not form a linear pair. For example, the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary but they are (by definition) not next to one another.


Can both angles in a pair of complementary angles be obtuse?

No,neither one can, since by definition a pair of complementary angles add to 90 degrees
