Is there an angle that is the complement of an obtuse angle?
No. By definition, the compliment to an angle is an angle whose measure would combine with the first to reach 90 degrees. Also, by definition, an obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 90 degrees. There is no angle that can be added to an angle larger than 90 degrees that will cause that angle to be 90 degrees (because the measure of an angle is inherently positive.) Therefore, there is no compliment to an obtuse angle.
Does a square have an obtuse angle?
No. By definition, a square can have only right angles.
Is a right angle and an obtuse angle always supplementary?
No. In fact, they never are. A right angle by definition is 90 degrees. An obtuse angle is any degree greater than 90. In order for two angles to be supplementary, they must equal 180 degrees. Because an obtuse angle is always greater than 90 degrees, and a right angle is always 90 degrees, an obtuse angle and a right angle can never be supplementary.
Can there be a triangle with two obtuse angles?
no, the definition of an obtuse angle is an angle greater than 90 degrees. a triangle, by definition, can only have a total of 180 degrees. therefore, even if you have two 91 degree angles, that still exceeds 180. therefore, no, you cannot have a triangle with two obtuse angles.
What is a rectangle is it a right angle acute or obtuse?
its a right angle
What is the smallest obtuse angle you can have?
The definition of an obtuse angle is that it is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180. By this definition, the smallest obtuse angle you can have is 90.00001 degrees, with infinite 0's.
What is the definition of an obtuse angle?
An obtuse angle is an angle that is larger that 90 degrees but smaller than a straight angle (180 degrees).
What is the definition for Obtuse triangle?
a triangle that contains an obtuse interior angle
Why can't an obtuse triangle not have a right angle?
Because an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees by definition and a right angle is 90 degrees by definition, so an obtuse triangle would need to have both a right angle and an obtuse angle, which would exceed the number of degrees than a triangle can have, which is 180 degrees.
What is the definition of a obtuse angle?
An angle greater than 90 degrees in measure.
How does having an exampe of an obtuse angle help you write a definition?
It does not. You also need examples of angles that are not obtuse. Based on only an example of an obtuse angle, your definition could simply be two line [segments] meeting at a point.
Is an acute angle and an obtuse angle sometimes always or never complementary?
Two angles are complementary when they add up to exactly 90 degrees. An obtuse angle is by definition greater than 90 degrees. Therefore, an obtuse angle cannot have a complementary angle. So an obtuse angle and an acute angle are never complementary.
What is the angle that measures 170 degrees?
It is an obtuse angle. It is an obtuse angle. It is an obtuse angle. It is an obtuse angle.
Is there an angle that is the complement of an obtuse angle?
No. By definition, the compliment to an angle is an angle whose measure would combine with the first to reach 90 degrees. Also, by definition, an obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 90 degrees. There is no angle that can be added to an angle larger than 90 degrees that will cause that angle to be 90 degrees (because the measure of an angle is inherently positive.) Therefore, there is no compliment to an obtuse angle.
Does a square have an obtuse angle?
No. By definition, a square can have only right angles.
What is the definition of obtuse triangles?
A angle that sums up to 180 degress
Can you draw an obtuse right angle?
good question yes very good the answer is yes but it will only be classifed as a right angle.Additional answerThe definition of obtuse angle is one that is greater then 90 degrees. So you can't have an obtuse right angle. Sorry!
