Best Answer

The three interior angles in a triangle must add up to 180o, and a reflex angle is one that is bigger than 180o. This makes it impossible for a triangle to have any interior reflex angles.

Is it possible to draw a triange with a reflex angle?

If you mean the reflex angle is an interior angle of the triangle then no. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180o, which mean all the angles must be less than 180o, but a reflex angle is greater than 180o and so cannot be one of these angles.
