What is the measure of the largest angle in an obtuse triangle?

Answer 1

178 degrees is the largest angle for an obtuse angle because 180 is a straight angle and 90 degrees is an right angle and below 90 degrees is an acute angle.

Some supposedly say that the answer is 179,But it's not! the reason behind this is because in a triangle all the angles have to add up to 180 degrees. There are 3 points to a triangle so there has to be 2 extra degrees taken off of 180, which equals to 178.

Explanation is terms:

angle A + angle B + angle C = 180 degrees [Sum of supplementary angles of a triangle]

178 degrees + 1 degree + 1 degree = 180 degrees

which makes sense.

I figured this out when i was doing homework...

Hope this helps you other people
