Obtuse Angle - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

One of the properties of a rectangle is that all its angles are right angles.

Therefore, it is not possible for an angle to be acute, that is, less than 90 degrees.

The definition of an acute angle is an angle that is smaller than 90 degrees.

Since an angle that equals 90 degrees is a right angle, the answer is correct.

The answer is correct because the sum of two acute angles will be less than 180 degrees and the sum of two obtuse angles will be greater than 180 degrees

A right angle is equal to 90 degrees. In diagrams A+C, we see that the angle symbol is a symbol representing an angle that equals 90 degrees.

By definition, an obtuse angle is an angle that is greater than 90 degrees. We can see that in one drawing there is an angle of 90 degrees and therefore it is not an obtuse angle, the other two angles are less than 90 degrees meaning they are also not obtuse, they are acute angles.

Therefore, none of the answers is correct.

Let's note in which of the triangles angle B forms a right angle, meaning an angle of 90 degrees.

In answers C+D, we can see that angle B is smaller than 90 degrees.

In answer A, it is equal to 90 degrees.
