Best Answer

If you're referring to an obtuse angle, it is an angle greater than 90 degrees (pi/2 radians).

Is it true that an obtuse triangle can have a right angle?

In Euclidean geometry, a triangle must be one of these: acute, obtuse, or right. Maybe there is a non-Euclideangeometry for which some obtuse triangles can contain a right angle, but it doesn't happen in Euclidean geometry.


What do you call a triangle with two obtuse sides?

In normal geometry, it's not possible to make a triangle with two obtuse angles. It is possible to make a triangle with two obtuse angles in spherical geometry -- it's a kind of "spherical triangle". It is possible to make a triangle with two obtuse angles in some kinds of non-Euclidean geometry -- it's a kind of "non-Euclidean triangle".

Does an isosceles triangle have two obtuse angles?

No. It is not possible in Euclidean planar geometry (if you don't know what that means, it means "the only kind of geometry you've ever heard of") for a triangle to have two obtuse angles.

What does the term acute angle mean?

An acute angle is a geometry term that refers to an angle that is less than 90 degrees. If it is 90 degrees it is a right angle, and if it is more than 90 it is obtuse.
