because if it has more than three obtuse angles than its not a quadrilateral.

This is because a quadrilateral has 360 degrees, right? Well an obtuse angle is an angle greater than 90 degrees. That being said the smallest obtuse angle you can have is 91 degrees. If you have four obtuse angles, then the sum of them is greater than 360 (ex: 91+91+91+91=364) and it's geometrically impossible to draw a quadrilateral with 4 obtuse angles.

Three obtuse angles are possible if the fourth is acute(less then 90 degrees) and they all add up to 360.

If an angle measures more than 90 then it is an obtuse angle What is the converse of this statement?

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


Why cant you have two obtuse angles in a triangle?

Angle sum property of a triangle states that the sum of angles in any triangle should be 180 degree. An angle greater than 90 degree is an obtuse angle. If we have 2 obtuse angles in a triangle, say, 95 degree, 100 degree & 50, it always tend to violate the angle sum property of the triangle. So we cannot have 2 obtuse angles in a triangle.


Is a right triangle an obtuse angle?

Certainly not, if you measure a right angled triangle the it comes to 90 degrees you only get an obtuse angle if you have OVER 90 degrees.


Why cant there be a obtuse angle in a right triagle?

A triangles angles must add up to 180 degrees, no more or less


Why cant a triangle have more than 1 obtuse angles?

Because the 3 interior angles of any triangle always add up to 180 degrees. And so it follows that 2 obtuse angles would add up to over 180 degrees.


Why cant two obtuse angles make a lineir pair?

The sum of the measures of a linear (not lieir!) pair is exactly 180 degrees. Each obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees so the sum of two must be greater than 180 degrees.
