MCQ
Maximum number of possible obtuse angles in a triangle is:
  • A
    $0$
  • $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$1$
Any triangle must have interior angles that add up to $180^{\circ}$. An obtus angle is an angle greater than $90^{\circ}$ but less than $180^{\circ}$ If you an angle that was $91^{\circ}$.
The other $2$ angles would have to be acute. This is because the other angles would take up $180^{\circ}-91^{\circ}=89^{\circ}$ of the triangle.
Since $89^{\circ}$ is less than $90^{\circ}$, this means the other $2$ angles must both be acute.You are left with $1$ obtuse angle.
