No. A obtuse angle cannot be a right triangle- it is so wrong that it can't even be a left angle (While true, this part is of course, a joke...).

There are two ways we name our triangles: using angles and how long the angles' sides are. The angles: there are three. The measurements: there are also three.

The measurement triangles (aka. how long the angles and sides are) come in three types: the equilateral, the isosceles, and the scalene.

The equilateral triangle has angles the measure sixty degrees and all sides measure the same length.

The isosceles triangle has two sides that measure the same length, but one side has a different measurement. Same thing with the angles.

The scalene triangle has all sides a different length with all sides a different measurement for the angles.

The angled triangles work on three angles: the acute, the right, and the obtuse.

The acute triangle's "A" point to its "B" point's angle is an angle that is acute.

The right triangle's "A" to its "B" is a right angle...

And the obtuse triangle's "A" to its "B" is an obtuse angle.

Right angles and obtuse angles are way different...

Right angles measure ninty degrees while obtuse angles measure more than ninty degrees but less than one hundred eighty degrees.

Therefore, there is no such thing as an obtuse righttriangle.
