Best Answer

In order for one of the angles to have a degree greater than 90, the other two angles must decrease... If the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees (which it is), then you have to subtract the obtuse angle from the total 180 degrees and split the remainder between the two remaining angles.

Why is a right obtuse triangle not possible?

because if it is obtuse, there is no right angle. each corner has to be over 90 degrees (a right angle) to be an obtuse triangle.


How can you determine if a triangle is acute obtuse or right triangle?
