Can an oblique triangle be a right triangle?
No.The definition of an oblique triangle is "any triangle that is not a right triangle".
What is the greatest number of obtuse angles in a right triangle?
0. A right triangle, by definition, will never include any obtuse angles.
Are all the sides of a right triangle perpendicular?
If you have a triangle then one of the sides cannot be perpendicular to the other two. It is true for a square but it is impossible with a triangle. Definition of perpendicular: Being at right angles to the horizontal; vertical.
Why can't an obtuse triangle not have a right angle?
Because an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees by definition and a right angle is 90 degrees by definition, so an obtuse triangle would need to have both a right angle and an obtuse angle, which would exceed the number of degrees than a triangle can have, which is 180 degrees.
Can a right triangle be acute or scalene or isosceles?
A right triangle may be isosceles or scalene (though not at the same time), but never acute, since an acute triangle is defined as having all interior angles less than 90°. A right triangle by definition has one 90° angle.
