YES BECAUSE AN OBTUSE ANGLE HAS TO BE MORE THEN 90 DEGREES. THE LOWEST YOU CAN DO IS 91 UNLESS YOUR TALKING ABOUT DECIMALS WHICH THE LOWEST WOULD BE (90.5). A QUAD HAS TO EQUAL 360 DEGREES. 91 TIMES 3 EQUALS 273 WHICH IS LESS THEN 360. ALTHOUGH, EVEN IF 273 IS LESS THAN 360 YOU CAN ADD ON AN ACUTE ANGLE(87) TO GET 360N DEGREES.

Up above is the WRONG answer. A trapezoid has to, and only can, have one set of parallel lines. This means, and try to picture this or draw it, if you had three obtuse, even if they were slightly obtuse, angles and an acute angle, there wouldn't be any parallel lines. Your own eyes don't approve these kinds of things, so it doesn't matter how close the obtuse angles are to 90 degrees. And don't the capitals just annoy you?

So, no, a trapezoid can not have three obtuse angles.

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.


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 is the most amount of obtuse angle a trapezoid have?

A trapezoid can have a maximum of 2 obtuse angles. An obtuse angle is one that measures greater than 90 degrees. In a trapezoid, two of the angles are acute angles (less than 90 degrees) and the other two angles can be either acute or obtuse.
