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.
