No, one of two complementary angles cannot be obtuse, because only two acute angles that add up to 90 degrees are complementary and that an obtuse angle on its own is greater than 90 degrees.

Can an obtuse triangle have two complementary interior angles?

No. A triangle with two complementary interior angles will always result into right triangle. The sum of the complementary angles will always be 90 degrees and the other one will be 90 too.


Can two obtuse angles be complementary angles?

sometimes... * * * * * No, never. Two angles are complementary angles if their measures sum to 90 degrees. An obtuse angle has a measure in the range (0, 90) degrees so two of them cannot sum to 90 degrees.


In pair of complementary angles can at least one of them be an obtuse angle?

No, because complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.An obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

Is an acute angle and an obtuse angle sometimes always or never complementary?

Two angles are complementary when they add up to exactly 90 degrees. An obtuse angle is by definition greater than 90 degrees. Therefore, an obtuse angle cannot have a complementary angle. So an obtuse angle and an acute angle are never complementary.

Can a trapezoid have one obtuse angle?

Trapezoids ALWAYS have at least one obtuse angle (if they have two right angles, then there will only be one obtuse angle), usually two (in any other circumstance, they will have two obtuse and two acute angles).

Does an acute triangle have obtuse angles?

No, an obtuse triangles has one obtuse angle and two acute angles. If a triangle has an obtuse angle, it is considered obtuse and cannot be acute.
