Is it possible to have two adjacent angles that are both obtuse?
Is it possible to have two adjacent angles that are both obtuse?
To solve this problem, let's analyze the properties of the angles involved:
Let's consider two adjacent angles, and , whose sum is , because they form a straight line.
If is obtuse, then .
Similarly, if is obtuse, then .
Adding these inequalities, we would have:
.
However, since the sum of the angles forming a straight line is exactly , having both angles greater than is impossible as their sum would exceed . This contradicts the supplementary angle requirement for adjacent angles on a straight line.
Conclusion: Thus, it is not possible to have two adjacent angles that are both obtuse.
Therefore, the answer to the problem is No.
No
