How Many Right Angles Are in a Obtuse Triangle

There cannot be any right angles in an obtuse triangle.

Can an obtuse triangle have a right angle?

A triangle cannot be right-angled and obtuse angled at the same time. Since a right-angled triangle has one right angle, the other two angles are acute. Therefore, an obtuse-angled triangle can never have a right angle; and vice versa. The side opposite the obtuse angle in the triangle is the longest.

How many acute angles are in a obtuse triangle?

Explanation: An obtuse scalene triangle must have one obtuse interior angle and two acute angles. All triangles have three interior angles with a sum total of degrees.
