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

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

A triangle with 1 obtuse angle?
A triangle with 1 obtuse angle is called an obtuse triangle.
Does every triangle have at least one obtuse angle?
-- No right triangle, acute triangle, or equilateral triangle has an obtuse angle in it. -- If a triangle has an obtuse angle in it, then it's called an obtuse triangle. -- No triangle can have more than one obtuse angle in it .
What do you call a triangle containing one obtuse angle?
A triangle containing an obtuse angle is an obtuse triangle.
Is an obtuse triangle a right triangle?
its a triangle * * * * * No, it an obtuse triangle is not a right angle triangle. An obtuse angled triangle has one angle which is greater than 90 degrees and the other two are acute. In a right angled triangle, the largest angle is 90 degrees while the other two are acute. So one cannot be the other.
What is a triangle with one obtuse angle?
obtuse triangle
Why does every triangle have to have an obtuse angle?
Not every triangle has to have an obtuse angle.
