Why is it impossible for a right triangle to have an obtuse angle?

because an obtuse ange has to be OVER 90 degrese. and a right angle is 90 degrese no matter what because a right angle is 90% and an obtuse is bigger than 90% it is impossible because a triangle only has three angles 1 angle is a right angle, 90 degrees another angle is an acute angle another angle is an acute angle an obtuse angle is an angle more than 90 degrees if you had an obtuse angle, then two of your angles would add up to 180 degrees already. it is a rule that the three angles of a triangle HAVE TO had up to 180 degrees exactly, so if you had an obtuse angle, the angles would add up to more than 180 degrees.
