because a compliment means another angle to add up to 90 degrees, and an obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees, so therefore, a number over 90 plus another number cannot equal 90 degrees

Can a obtuse angle have a complement?

No because complementary angles add up to 90 degrees and an obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees.


If an angle measures over 90 degrees what is its complement?

obtuse angle * * * * * The complement of an angle greater than 90 degrees is not an obtuse angle! It would be a negative angle, whose measure would be 90 minus the angle whose complement you require. This would only make sense if the direction in which the angles were measured were fixed. For example bearings, which are always measured in the clockwise direction.

its is the differents in the way it is said if its not more than 90 then it cant be obtuse


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.
