No.
By definition, the compliment to an angle is an angle whose measure would combine with the first to reach 90 degrees. Also, by definition, an obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 90 degrees. There is no angle that can be added to an angle larger than 90 degrees that will cause that angle to be 90 degrees (because the measure of an angle is inherently positive.) Therefore, there is no compliment to an obtuse angle.

Is it possible for an obtuse angle to have both a complement and a supplement?
Yes, but its complement is negative.
What is the complement of an obtuse angle?
An acute angle (angle less than 90 degrees).
Why can't an obtuse angle have a complement?
because a compliment means another angle to add up to 90 degrees, and an obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees, so therefore, a number over 90 plus another number cannot equal 90 degrees
What is a rectangle is it a right angle acute or obtuse?

What is the Complement of an angle that measures 153 degrees?
obtuse The complement is 180°-153° = 27°
Can a obtuse angle have a complement?
No because complementary angles add up to 90 degrees and an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees.
If an angle measures over 90 degrees what is its complement?
obtuse angle * * * * * The complement of an angle greater than 90 degrees is not an obtuse angle! It would be a negative angle, whose measure would be 90 minus the angle whose complement you require. This would only make sense if the direction in which the angles were measured were fixed. For example bearings, which are always measured in the clockwise direction.
What is the angle that measures 170 degrees?
It is an obtuse angle. It is an obtuse angle. It is an obtuse angle. It is an obtuse angle.
What is a 145 degree angle?
An obtuse angle.
Why is a obtuse angle called a obtuse angle?
A obtuse angle is called an obtuse angle because if obtuse means bigger in degrees and a right angle is 90 degrees than a obtuse angle must be over 90 degrees.
What triangle has an obtuse angle?
An obtuse triangle has an obtuse angle.
Why can't an obtuse angle have a complement?
because a compliment means another angle to add up to 90 degrees, and an obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees, so therefore, a number over 90 plus another number cannot equal 90 degrees
