In the same way that you bisect an acute triangle. Alternatively, you could extend one of the rays of the obtuse angle so that you have an acute angle. Bisect that angle and then draw a perpendicular to the bisector of the acute angle through the vertex.

If you bisect an obtuse angle you get 2 obtuse angles Right?

No. The biggest possible obtuse angle is one that's a hair less than 180 degrees. Bisect that, and each half is the biggest possible ACUTE angle.


How do you bisect a reflex angle?

The method is exactly the same as for bisecting any other angle. You may find it easier to bisect the "other side" of the reflex angle, which will be at most obtuse and then extent the bisector through the vertex to the other side.The method is exactly the same as for bisecting any other angle.
