Can a triangle have two obtuse angles? Give reason for your answer.

An obtuse angle is the angle whose measure is more than 90but less than 180.
We know that sum of all the angles of a triangle equals 180.
Hence if a triangle will have two obtuse angles, the sum of all the angles of a triangle will be more than 180, which is not possible.
A triangle cannot have two obtuse angles.

  1. Explain why (a) The angle of contact of mercury with glass is obtuse, while that of water with glass is acute. (b) Water on a clean glass surface tends to spread out while mercury on the same surface tends to form drops. (Put differently, water wets glass while mercury does not). (c) Surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface. (d) Water with detergent dissolved in it should have small angles of contact. (e) A drop of liquid under no external forces is always spherical in shape.
