It is not possible to make an obtuse triangle whose sides are less than or equal to 100. This is because in order to make an obtuse triangle, you have to get a side length that is greater than 100.

It is impossible to construct an obtuse triangles
with all sides less than 100. The reason is that
one of the sides "must" be greater than 100 in
order to the triangle to be obtuse.
